Dear All,
The 2017 series is almost upon us with the first event taking place on the Sutton flat 10 circuit on Thursday 4th May. I'm most grateful to Billy for stepping up to the mark to organise the first one. Also to Steen who is volunteering to marshal. BUT, we need more marshals to ensure the event can go ahead safely and comply with the Risk Assessment. All help gratefully received. You can click on to the volunteer spreadsheet on the SPOCO series web page and simply add your name.
For those who might find the prospect of 'organising' a bit daunting. Worry ye not. I have prepared an 'Event organisers Folder' in which each Thursday evening event has it's own sub folder in chronological order. Each sub folder contains;
Map showing where signs and marshals are required.
Briefing notes for organiser and riders
Risk assessment.
Copy of Police & CTT notification form.
Dynamic Risk assessment form which MUST be completed on the night immediately before the event.
Signing on sheets for competitors and volunteers.
Results sheet for the timekeeper.
Junior parental consent forms.
There will be plenty of help on hand from those who have organised so there is nothing to worry about.
This year we are opening invitations to 'guests of the club' provided they are already a member of a recognised club. Clifton CC members will take precedent in the event we are butting up to the maximum number of entrants permitted in a club event, which is 40 riders.
We are also running, in conjunction with York Cycle works, a couple of events on a fast and flat 10 mile circuit around Wheldrake.
So, everything is in place for what should be a great series. All we need now are volunteers to ensure they can go ahead and competitors. We would especially welcome those who have never tried time trialling before. Come along and try it. You never know you may even like it!
See you on Thursday 4th May at Sheriff Hutton Bridge for the first rider of the 2017 season to be away at 7.30pm!
Kind regards David
