[ORRando] PBP meeting

[Marcello Napolitano]

I have a suggestion. I can be at the Grand Lodge the evening before the 
Birkie brevet and do ride registration (if the organizers would like 
help with that), and I can bring the PBP info I have (registration dates 
and procedure, start times, control locations, etc.) and share it/talk 
about it with any riders who can't be at the previous PBP meeting.
