The secretary or patrol coordinator will call all patrols one week before the next scheduled date of the El Mirage meet. Patrol positions are 11 Return Road and 11 Spectator Side. You need to be at the Timing Trailer and signed in on the patrol sign in sheet by 7:00am on Race Day (s). The patrol meeting will be held promptly at 7:00am. The positions for patrols are drawn from the club roster in alphabetical order, starting with the last patrol member whose name appeared on the November meet of the previous year. The Secretary will assign the names with the established criteria of past years. The patrols are to be published by the APRIL club meeting in order to have a current roster and time for you to put the dates on your social/work calendar as a reminder.

George Vose is the Patrol Coordinator and will be in charge of all patrols. If something should happen to a club member and they cannot stand their patrol, it is up to that club member to get his/her replacement from the Gear Grinder roster (you all should have a current club roster to use). If you cannot find a replacement, please call George Vose to see if he can find a volunteer to stand your patrol. The club member that misses their assigned patrol will have to make up a patrol at a later date (non alphabetical placement), you will not be excused. The by-laws say the board can fine you up to $100.00 and you could be voted out of the club for conduct concerned in bad light of the Gear Grinders. Remember that it’s your responsibility, to find a Gear Grinder club member, to stand your patrol. You need to call George Vose and inform him of any swaps, ETC. Call George @ (760) 868-9101, if he does not answer please leave a voice message on the answering machine.
