Maple Leaf Rally Club will be presenting the 2012 Black Bear Rally on Saturday, July 14, 2012. We will be welcoming back our sponsors, Davenport Subaru, Bancroft Motors and Clearwater Design.

We are still in need of plenty more workers. No experience necessary.

However we also could use a hand from some of our experienced stage rally workers, as a number of people have moved up into organizing roles leaving us with some important roles to fill.

email to: blackbear.volunteers@mlrc.ca

The 2012 Black Bear Rally has moved to mid-July and the location has moved from McArthur’s Mills to Gilmour, Ontario. We will need lots of help. Many amateur radio operators, timing marshals, traffic control marshals and crowd control marshals will be required.

Stage notes will again be provided again by the organizers along with two recce passes of every stage – some on Friday evening and the rest on Saturday morning, so we need a few volunteers on Friday as well to assist with the recce, however as usual the bulk of the workers will be needed by 9:30-10:00 A.M. on Saturday.

All workers will receive a free ticket to the Awards Banquet, as well as Subsidized Accommodations.

Accomodations:

Arrangements have been made for the following: •Elmer's hunt camp at $20 per person per night •Limerick Lake Lodge at $45 per person per night (plus tax) •There is also free camping in the baseball field next to Rally HQ.

In mid-July other accomodations will be difficult to find, as cottage season is in full swing.

Note - we also need lots of volunteers for a Road Work Day on Saturday, June 16th.
