Has the Grand Tour Flags been sent out

[Willie]

Title says it all

We aren't getting physical flags mailed to us this year.
They are being sent in an electronic form and then putting them on whatever physical media we desire.
I would imagine we will get them sometime late this week or weekend.

from the GT rules page:
Rally Placard

Due to rising shipping costs and the desire to keep this tour at $25, a PDF file will be emailed to each rider instead of a towel. We recommend taking the file to an office supply store and have it printed on white cardstock and laminate it. You can print from home too, it doesn't matter to us.

Placard size: 9X6 works pretty good but it can be whatever size you want, just make sure scorers can see it.

Your numbered rally placard may only be used by you. It will be emailed to riders a week before the start of the rally. This will allow riders time to print them off.

If you lose your placard, print a new one! What if you lost the original email or pdf? Email the Rallymaster and we can help out.

Luddite? Contact the Rallymaster and we can talk it over.

Work trip last week & blizzard in WY over the weekend had me pre-occupied. Frump & I are working on it.

Very nice design. Gotta find a lamination machine now...

I just use the self adhesive laminating sheets. Easy peezy, not very spendy.

[LSGiant]

Printed and ready for my trip to Office Max tomorrow

Will there be a ride report for that trip to Office Max?

Hi everyone, I just want to apologize for the Internet problems this evening. The website is hosted on one of the web servers where I work. The outage was not related to GLMC flags being posted , just really bad timing. The border router died and the server went dark for a bit. My co-worker was able to get it resolved fairly quickly. These kinds of problems are pretty rare for us, I don't even remember the last time it happened.

[Lapchik]

Well, it's still March so nobody should be out gt-ing yet anyway...

[Frump]

They are all busy laminating.

pppfffttttt....I was out yesterday GT hunting! No, not the GLMC one but I was out.

I like the sticker idea, never thought of that.
A few folks signed up today (procrastination IS a good thing) Total up to 81 at this point. Thanks to all that got the word out, there is no deadline to sign up, although I can't guarantee a 24hr turnaround for placards.
