I would be happy to add an Advanced course at the Baton Rouge site for the Swamp Scooters on Saturday May 31 starting at 8:00 AM.

We will need AT LEAST 6 PAID (preferably 8-9 minimum) people and have a 12 rider limit for one group. I could also send the info to the Gulf South BMW group as well in case one of their group wants to join in in the fun.

I would like to have the applications submitted with their money orders by May 8th at the latest.

If not, I will add an additional Basic course due to heavy demand for courses this spring.
