Our Event. 10.06.14. 10mile TT. Celtic Series 4of8. Resolven-Aberdulias R10/22a

[traine]

This is the second of our Open Time Trials this year. (Steve Landeg is organising the Carl Roach Memorial 25). We are light on open events in 2014. Even though the mid-week 10's will run throughout the summer, these are club events with restricted entry and very low fees.

Because it is Celtic Series I would encourage all club members to enter so we can get points but please remember that I also need volunteers to marshal, put up signs, do the entries/numbers, fill out the Results Board and, most important of all, do the teas.

I have had great support in the last two years and I hope I shall not have to chase volunteers but, in the event I do not have them, I have the opportunity to ask registered riders to sacrifice their ride to help.

HQ at St Athan Camp Welfare Hall has been booked, this is an excellent venue. The course is not flat so do not expect a fast time but it is a great opportunity to get points for the club so, if you have not entered yet, please do so.

Ron. I enquirer about the roadworks three weeks ago and still await a response. Since I have been away a lot I need to chase again and will post here when I have an answer. I believe we will be OK by June but I cannot take the chance.
Thanks all for your support. I think we should be OK on the day if I chase around a bit so, everyone else, please get your entries in so we have a good Oggie presence.

CHANGE OF COURSE

Ron was quite right to be concerned here. After a long discussion with the Vale of Glamorgan it transpires that the roadworks affecting the R10/9 from St Athan to Rhoose will continue intermittently until the end of August. Since I cannot get a commitment that the traffic lights will not be there on 10th June I have applied for - and got- CTT permission to use the R10/22a at Resolven. The much faster course.

The event will now have TRW Sports Club as its HQ and will start on the Industrial Estate road nearby at 6.30 pm on Tuesday 10th June.
It will join the A465 at Resolven roundabout and go west to Aberdulais where it will turn and return to Resolven roundabout, taking first exit to join the B4242 and go left to finish a few yards west of that junction.

I shall need about 10 club members to help marshal etc. The catering is OK with Mary and Alan so the jobs remaining are; 2 pushers off (there are 90 riders); a timekeepers 'spotter' or observer for Robin Field; 3 marshals at Resolven and 4 at Aberdulais. Stephen will do the results Board at HQ after his ride. It would be helpful if another rider could help him with that (or a non rider volunteer).

I have a good number of volunteers already. If your name is not in the correspondence above and you are not riding then please help if you can and let me know as soon as you read this.

I want as many Oggies to ride as possible so, get your application in now if you have not already done so. This is a fast course and demand is likely to be high from other clubs.

I am on holiday for a week from 21st May so please respond early.
