The plan as of this moment is that we will be operating three stations from this location.
Due to the narrowness of the road - there will be either no parking on Western Promenade. Obviously the large lower parking lot at the courthouse is nearby and a short walk to the house.
More on parking details to follow on our Facebook page.
Please check the Oxford CERT Facebook page for updates as well.

MORE RADIO VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!!
It is time to start thinking about the 2022 Dempsey Challenge. I will be
coordinating this year with Cory KU1U as the NCS again.
To this end, I’m reaching out to see if you would like to volunteer for the event
again (7 Rest Stops, 12 SAGs). This year the event is scheduled for September 24th
and 25th. Our support will be on the 25th for the ride events. The course is the
same as last year.
The only change that we will have is we will need to meet on the 24th so that we
can go over any last-minute changes and have our final event brief.
Current Scheduling:
Saturday, September 24th, Time TBD - Event Brief.
Sunday, September 25th, Time TBD - Ride events.
The last thing is thanks for your time and if you have any questions or concerns, let
me know.
