That does it for '07 Wednesday Nights. See you at the street vault (8/11). You should all sign up for that now It is a lot of fun. If you email Jamie tonight, I think you still get free admission to the Fair, free parking, and the cheaper vault registration ($30).
Note--emailing is free. If something changes and you are a no-show, it costs you nothing.

1) You may use our Complete line of poles (//%22http://www.flightdeckathletics.com/Forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6%22)--you agree to purchase any poles you damage
2) We will have 2-3 paid workers running the meet, placing crossbars, and adjusting standards...paid by the entry fees
3) Any crossbar breakage is also covered by the entry fee (pole breakage is not)
4) We set up everything and put everything away
5) We will run a 10-jump meet
--too many people need to either go early or show up late to run a traditional meet.
--30 minutes of warm-up on the runway
--you get (10) bars at any height you choose
--0"/6" increments one week, alternating with 3"/9" increments the next week.
