Request for 2020 work session schedule

Unread postby Paul Davenport » Tue Oct 29, 2019 12:26 pm

Can somebody provide a list of 2020 work session dates as things now stand? I have the list that was posted in the Chama yard in late June after the Board of Directors meeting but I know there have been changes made since then and I don't see the current list on the Friends website.

update: Here are 2020 work session dates provided me by email this week by Tim Tenant, the Friends staff honcho:
Session B May 24-28
Session C June 15-19
Session D June 22-26
Session E July 20-24
Session F1 August 20-25
Session F2 August 25-30
Session G September 23-27
BTW, I know it's getting late in the year but I still wouldn't consider all of the 2020 dates above to be locked in stone, because of possible changes due to work and projects related to the railroad's' 50th anniversary celebration. But this helps with planning.

Thank you for this. I recall seeing that work sessions this next time around going to be either All Antonito or All Chama and not the concurrency that has been the case in the past. Paul, would your insight from Mr Tennant include Antonito/Chama either or as well?

Karl, FYI as a Friends member you may contact the Friends office directly.
I'm sure they'll be happy to speak with you.

The info I was given over the phone by somebody else w/ the Friends staff before I got Tim's email regarding work session dates is as follows. Again, I don't consider this info to be locked in stone until the 2020 registration material is posted online:
_ multiple short special sessions in Antonito in April and May
_ there is no A session
_ B is in Antonito
_ C is in Chama and Antonito
_ D is in Chama and Antonito
_ E session seemed as if they will be more Antonito than Chama.
_ F sessions. Mostly Chama.
_ G. Chama and Antonito.

The Calendar on the Friends website has some conflicting dates for August, when I am planning on attending:

F1 August 17-22
F2 August 23-28

Hope this gets sorted out soon, it's time to be making reservations!

I see that FIDO now has the first official installment of thr Friends work session projects schedule for 2020. FIDO is reachable through the Volunteer page's pulldown menu on the Friends' main page.
