Clifton Road Race Day, 15th July

I'm posting this here just to make sure it gets seen by those who don't usually follow events in the "Racing and Training" Forum but who might be interested.

We now have a full field in all the vets groups apart from the E/F/G/H race where there are still places (and no sign of a Clifton jersey as yet) so if any of you over-60's fancy flying the club flag, then let me know PDQ! We have nearly eighty entries in the afternoon BC 2/3/4 race so I'll be doing a hacking and slashing exercise on that next week to whittle it down to sixty plus reserves.

I still need helpers on the day, please. I've got a few volunteers already from the previous thread but still need more. Marshalling needs are relatively few since we'll have Community TM doing three out of the four junctions, but we still need a few people with flags. Mainly we need drivers (with cars) - BC members for the BC race, anyone for the vets race. You get insurance cover, roof signs and a great sense of power, plus money to cover petrol.

If those of you who are riding one or other event would be happy to help out at the other, then that would be excellent - I know a few have already put their hand up.

Ta!

Phil, I ought to do something for the club for a change, so I shall make myself available to assist as required - I will bring a car, though I don't have a BC licence.

Top man! Would you be happy to drive one of the cars for the morning vets race? (I recall you did last year - in fact weren't you the broomwagon?!?)?

Many thanks for all PM's, emails and phone calls! It's looking good; now just need one driver each for the morning and afternoon (possibly if one of the people who has said they're generally available could step up to that one) and an extra marshal or two for the morning. Plus a couple of spare bodies is always handy - it's a flat circuit and if we don't have bunch sprints in all races I'll be surprised, so people at the finish to help make sense of it are handy.

Bumping this up and cpying across from the R&T forum:-

We now have:-

-A full catering crew - many thanks Cath, Lisa and Hannah B
-Drivers for the LVRC race - Muzzy, Nigel, Broomwagon and Melly
-3 drivers for the BC race - Cam, Nigel and Melly. So, I need one more - it needs to be a BC member. Any volunteers?

-3 marshals for the morning - Dave I, RichT and AndyM. Toby's volunteered but that was before he got plastered and I kind of reckon there must be someone out there who'd find it easier than Toby would. Any takers?
-Four marshals for the afternoon - Dave I, Dave Cook, Rich D and Mike G.

It would be really, really good if we had one or two more bodies around, especially to help judge the finish and cheer on the Clifton contingent in both races - step forward and have a good ride Cam, Tim, Rich D, Tom, Andy and Dave C in the vets race and Daniel Gray, Muzzy, Andy M (and honorary Cliftonite Damian) in the BC event! Any volunteers?
