Hi all,
As most are aware, this year I am coordinating the club efforts for the Carl Roach 25m TT. Of course, the event secretary 'supremo' (ie Teresa) is guiding me along the way. The event had always been supremely well organised and supported by club members and there is little point in changing a winning formula - so this year will effectively be a mirror of previous years.
As I'm new to the job, I thought to start this just a little earlier and so - first call for volunteers.
I've spoken with various stalwarts of the club and we have some names in slots :
Catering - Allan, Mary (and Lindy ?)
Results board and presentation – Steven Madeley
Time keepers – Norman James, Tudor Thomas and Julia Jones
Lead Marshal – Andy Harries (total course – will want a couple of Lieutenants)
So, the other 'main jobs' looking for owners
Headquarters - Hirwaun Community Centre
Signing on and numbers at HQ
Signing the course
Marshalling (the more the merrier)
Pushers (a few, as there is provision for 240 riders)
Signing after the ride (new requirement)
There is always something else to do, so if you can be at the HQ to assist with riders’ questions or be able to cover, that would also be appreciated. If you are unsure of what is required, there are plenty of experienced members who can point you in the right direction and answer questions.
Ogmore Valley Wheelers always puts on a fantastic, well supported event, so this year should be no different. The more people who can volunteer and commit to the date, the better, and you will make the Event Secretary very happy
15. Club and Open Events
......................"To ensure the safe running of OVW Open events, the Event Secretary will reserve the right to withdraw any OVW rider to provide extra marshalling cover. In these instances, the club will reimburse the withdrawn rider/riders with their entry fees.
Not withstanding any CTT or BC regulations, the event secretary’s decision on all matters appertaining to the event will be final.
And, before anyone points it out, I've unashamedly copied the bulk of Teresa note from 12 months ago :-)
Many thanks.
