[GCARC] A proposal for a Saturday Training and Testing Session.

[djgrath1]

All,
The reason I did not like having the two events on the same day was due to
possible parking issues. If we can get the parking organized (I already have
some ideas on that), then I think the Spring TailGate and the license
training class will be a very good event for the Club.

Thanks

I think doing the two on the same day is a great idea. The 2 events would
likely generate traffic for each other.
