Just need to confirm my availability, but I'd love to help. May need a lift out on the morning, but would happily marshall or help judge/film on the line. I'm very keen to learn race organising too, if there's anything I should be learning. If you don't hear from me, poke me.

Racing with the oldies in the am. Happy to do whatever in the Pm. I'm a BC member and drove last year. Happy to do so again.

Thanks to those who have volunteered their services so far (Alison, Melly and Nigel) :D . With just over a month to go there are still plenty of jobs available so if you are thinking of putting your hand up please do so soon. As far as the BC race in the afternoon is concerned there is a healthy interest from riders so far with 50 plus entries already. It was certainly an exciting race last year. Needless to say we can’t put these races on without volunteers.

Many thanks

Update on the morning vets race - heading very rapidly towards a full field across the three races (40-49, 50-59, 60+) with ages spread between 40 and 78(!). We need helpers and, particularly, drivers. I guarantee that, like last year, it'll be sunny and you'll go home with a magnificent tan, not to mention your expectations of your later years revised upwards.

Still plenty of opportunity to enter one race and help at the other, either way round.

I've entered the BC race in the afternoon.

I'm willing to help out with the first race. My preference would be to get there early and put the signs out, set up,etc. This might give me the chance to go back home for a couple of hours.

If that job's been taken I should be able to marshall.


Cheers

Martin

Lisa is willing to assist Cath in the kitchen again this year for both races.

Phil,

If you can put me down for the Vets race as well that would be great. I can let you have my entry tomorrow night if that works.

Cam,

Happy to help out in the afternoon. BC licence so can drive if that helps.

Best regards

John

Phil, Cam

I'd like to do the vets race too, I will get my entry in this weekend (I hope it's not too late). I'll be available to help on whatever job is required for the afternoon. I will have a car and BC licence if required. For some reason I often end up doing the Broomwagon (I can't think why that is), but will do whatever is required.

I've entered the BC race so could help at the vets race such as driving like last year. I'm there for the duration anyway as Cath is doing the catering.
