We had some difficulties, but now there is some exciting news. Had a chance at our AGM to talk to the doctor on our Executive who would not support my earlier attempts to set up this ride. She said that she now _would_ support the ride if we could meet the following criteria: 1. we have a _minimum_ of 20 riders. All riders would eat GF food (most of the non-GF riders would not know the difference anyways, except for the bread). 2. we would all have to sign a waiver to the extent that, although the TRCR, as organizer, and the outfitter, who provides the horses and cooking factilities, will make every attempt to provide a GF ride, there is no way they can _guarantee_ that someone would not have a reaction. 3. an "observer" or "supervisor" would be chosen from among the guests or brought in especially _by_ the guests to oversee the preparation of meals and the GF status of the ingredients. 4. all ride fees would have to be paid in full at an early date, possibly the end of March. 5. the date of the ride would likely be our normally scheduled ride #5. For 1998, our 75th anniversary year, that will begin on Sunday, August 2nd. The ride ends on Friday, August 7th. For more details on our 1998 rides, please have a look at our Web pages at: <http://www.canuck.com/~trcr>. BTW, we're working on a special memento to be given to each of the riders next summer and there will be other memorabilia available as well. I know there are a lot of qualifications there, but at least it's a start. Please let me know, a.s.a.p., what your thoughts are on this. If you are interested in this Gluten Free Trail Ride please send your inquiries to me at: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: GF Trail Ride And by all means have a look at our Web Site at <http://www.canuck.com/~trcr> Looking forward to possibly seeing you this summer.
