Agreed to plug this for one of our partners in the NYRRL:
An event to raise money for Yorkshire Air Ambulance after the recent accident John Potter was involved in. It’s on Saturday 12th December at Dishforth Airfield. We have use of a heated hanger, army chef, sports masseuses, prizes donated by Prologue and All Terrain, professional photography by Russell Ellis, watt bikes, not to mention there will also be a bouncy castle!
I’ve attached the full events card in this email for your perusal and have included a few extra, relevant bits of information below, including the link to register for the event:
Winner Assessment/Timing:
Our thoughts are for each team to have one Garmin device that is used through the event and for this to be handed over in a similar fashion to how a relay baton would be handed over. The ‘handover’ will happen in a designated transition area on the airfield.
Team Sizes:
I have received a number of messages about team sizes and in some instances, clubs have asked if they can enter more than four people in a team. In principal, we are happy to accommodate this but would like to put a cap of 6 people max per team.
Prizes:
All Terrain Cycles have very kindly offered to donate some prizes for the winners. Prizes will need to be given to the top three women’s teams, top three men’s teams and top three mixed teams. We would be grateful if donations could be given by others also for raffle prizes please. Please email philip.makinson@gmail.com if you would like to donate a prize.
Bikes:
Bikes must be in accordance with British Cycling race bike rules, that stipulate NO disc wheels, NO disc brakes, NO tri bars or bar extensions, NO recumbent bikes (Bromptons, Penny farthings etc etc). Cyclocross bikes will be acceptable providing they DO NOT have disc brakes.
Entertainment:
Capt HR Mathers AAC as stated above ^^^ is an absolute legend and is in the process of arranging a small Christmas market (up to 5 traders), military chef, bouncy castle and watt bikes. Andrea Potter and a few other have also very kindly offered to provide some catering facilities.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance:
Have agreed to provide a representative for the day, merchandise to be sold as well as buckets.
Volunteers:
Philip Makinson has very kindly offered to take it upon himself to coordinate volunteers for this event. If you, or any of your team members would be interested in assisting Philip, he has now set up a specific Face Book Page for this, which can be found here; https://www.facebook.com/groups/1481287 ... cation=ufi
Photography:
Russell Ellis, who in mine and many others opinions is an incredibly talented photographer has agreed to give up his time to take photographs of the event. He will be charging £10 per photo and again proceeds will be given to Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Day Membership for non-British Cycling Members:
Day membership will have to be paid on the day of the event. This is £10 for non-members, £5 for Bronze membership and foc is the entrant has Silver or Gold Membership. Juniors will have 50% discount on these numbers.
