Consider being a GBARC Net Controller (NC). It is a positive learning experience and great fun. The only scary part is if your pen runs out of ink while the calls are coming in! The more Net Controllers available, the less work for everyone. Currently, we have 4 NC's so each of us has to cover 1 night every 4 weeks. Imagine if we had more and doubled the number to 8.
