North Yorkshire Evening Road Race League Race 4 - 27 June

[RichT]

I'm looking for some volunteers to help me with this race which is to be held on the Escrick circuit on 27 June with the race HQ at Skipwith Village Hall. The race starts at 7pm with sign on starting at 6pm.

I need people to do the following jobs:

3 people to Marshall on the course.
2 people to deal with sign on and collecting numbers in at the end.
4 people with cars to act as lead vehicles etc. You need to be BC members for insurance purposes and you will be reimbursed your petrol costs.

Don't worry if you've never marshalled before and are not sure what to do because everyone is in pairs so you won't be left on your own.

Post here or send me a PM if you are able to help.

Thanks to Goldgpr, Lugster and Phil for offering to help. Entries for the race are now fully booked but I'm still looking for another 6 volunteers to help on the day.

Please post here or send me a pm if you are able to help.

It's less than a fortnight to this event which is being organised by Clifton.

Thanks to those who have already agreed to take on a role. Hopefully you'll be happy to do the following:

Drivers: Phil and Goldgpr
Marshalls: Lugster77 and AndyM
Sign On: Dave C

For the event to take place I need at least 2 more drivers, 1 Marshall and 1 more person to help at sign on/at the finish line.

Please could you let me know if you would be able to help on the night. There are various British Cycling forms which need to be completed before the race so please could you let me know before Friday 21 June.

Thanks

RichT copied from Facebook:- RichT is still struggling to get the required number of drivers/marshals for the next round of the NYERRL series, as a Clifton member who drove in the Malton 1st race rather than riding to help out, and riding the next race it would be great to see some cross club participation with race help for the event to go ahead. Its good fun and keeps racing vibrant on the roads of North Yorkshire.

Fine by me

Simon Melton recently posted a message on the Malton Wheelers site saying you were still looking for help for your event on 27th June. I am a member of the Wheelers and would be happy to assist marshaling or in any other capacity. I am a BC member and passengered Simon in the lead car at the recent Malton event but have no other "car" experience. - David Capes

Thanks to everyone who has offered to help out at the event. "If" the race goes ahead the following people have agreed to do the following:

Drivers: Phil, Goldgpr and Cavedapes
Marshalls: Lugster77, AndyM and craigdabrown
Sign On/help at finish line: Dave C and Mal

Unfortunately for the event to take place I need at least 1 more driver.

Given the number of Clifton riders at these events I think it's pretty embarrassing for the club that we can't manage to marshall our events and have to look to other clubs for assistance.

Unless I get a volunteer driver by midnight tomorrow, the only fair system I can think of (other than cancelling the event) is to withdraw from the race any Clifton rider who has not helped out at a British Cycling Race this year so they will be available to help. Sorry if this sounds unreasonable! If anyone has a better idea let me know.

Paul Crane will be the final Driver for the race so we now have all the people we need for the race to go ahead.

Thanks to Paul and everyone else who has offered to help out on the night.
