Sept 29, 2007  A goodly number of mainly crew chiefs assembled in the WMSC cabin to hear a brief presentation by VANOC on the new Registration Web site.   This was followed by a rather damp, but interesting walk-down on the new ladies Olympic course where the Alpina A-Net towers have now all been installed.  All of our net systems will be Alpina, this year and through to 2010.   Following the walk-down, Alpina provided a training session on the proper installation of the new net systems.
