Clifton CC

A big thank you to those who have volunteered so far, both on here and by other means. I'll be in touch with details shortly.

Jobs still unfilled:

Second signing on
Timekeeper's assistant (to call numbers of the finishers)
Second course prep and pushing off
Assistants to wander about in club colours at the HQ and help newcomers with general questions about the event and the club (x2)

I really would appreciate the final few helpers coming forward soon.

Thanks again

Nick

I can help if you need it, timekeepers assistant sounds like a job I could manage.

I'll do the signing on; will see if I can recruit daughter and her mates to be around as general helpers

As i siad on the previous page Nick, ill do pushing off.

Im on-call with work that weekend, but will hopefully be at the event and can help out with anything that needs doing on the day.

Nick B and Ian Hagyard -

Thanks for your offers of help.

I was hoping to get a team of 2 together to deal with course prep, and also to take turns at the start with timekeeping (ie counting down the minute for each rider) and pushing off.

How does that sound?

Nick

Nick, hopefully we should get quite a bit of interest from college students. I've had a poster displayed prominently in a student area for about a month and all staff on a large cycling email list have been notified.

I was just wondering. Is it frowned on for existing members with TT experience (I did most of the flat rides last year as well as this one) to actually take part? I'm happy to mill around before and after and will seek out any confused looking newbies, just wondered if I could do the ride too?

Michael

Will see if I can get a few posters up in uni this week, if 1% of the people with bikes turn up then it will be a great turnout

Would you like some cakes? If so how many?

Gill

Sorry can't help but signed up for the Wetherby-Filey charity ride months ago.

I'm thinking of taking part in this TT.

Cant see much interest coming from college students, hardly see anyone that would look like they would want to do a TT allthough alot of people in my class noticed the poster and mentioned it to me.

Is anyone going to be riding afterwards? I will ride the TT, but might go for a ride after if anyone else wants to.

Arthur - I'd be up for a gentle couple of hours afterwards if the weather's vaguely okay.

MichaelC - and this is just personal opinion, I don't think there's any established "etiquette" for this yet - take a look at last year's results (they'll be buried in the Club TT series results) and you'll see that a fair few of the club regulars rode it as well as lots of newcomers. Personally I reckon as long as you're as encouraging as possible to the newbies (eg don't just snarl as you flash past 10mph faster) then it's not going to do any harm.
