Nova Open 10 TT Saturday 23rd September 2017

Post by duncan » Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:33 pm

Hi all,

The Nova Open 10 is on Saturday 23/9, first off at 14:31 on V212 Arkendale Lane End to Walshford. HQ is Arkendale Village Hall. I really need volunteers

I need:

these roles can be changed if required, I'm just filling them up. Note we need more than just these roles because of the number of riders, so someone doesn't have to be out for two hours on a roundabout.

In charge on the day Caroline 12:30
Smiles me 12:30
signage and risk assessment Richard S (13:00)
clerk Simon C (2:30)
pusher off x2 Dave Mann Derek Irvine (2:15)
number catcher John T, Vaughan (2:40)
results relay at finish (Duncan) (2:40)
results coordinator at hq (Corinne) (2:40)
signing on Kirstie (12:30)
kitchen staff at least 2(Ceri, Margaret) (2:30)
4xmarshal (2 on duty at a time) at Walshford - note we need numbers catching here (i.e. write down each number as it passes) Greg K, Bill Morritt, Simon K (2:30)
car park (anyone available)
setting up flags (anyone)
We also need reserve marshals, help at the HQ

lots of cakes

We currently have 48 entries with 11 days until closing, so it is a very promising field. Quite a few women have entered too.

If you want to enter it is https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/race-details/15999.
Does anyone want the honour of being number 1?

Potential Rider/helpers Pete W, John W, Ele

Up to 51 entries now and we usually have a last minute rush, so hoping to at least break 60.

Thanks to Simon Cave and Bill Morritt so far and I'm sure we can think of something for you to do Pete. You were the first to enter in January!

I'm just waiting for the rush of further volunteers.

Thanks Greg and John. Over 70 riders now and it doesn't close until next Tuesday. Caroline is going to struggle baking cakes for them all. I still need volunteers please. This is the biggest entry we've had for an open in recent years.

OK, I've cancelled our romantic anniversary weekend away to help out at the TT!

Joanne will be delighted when I tell her :shock:

I'm sure I can persuade Hannah to make some cakes as well.

Planning to race. If you put me on a later start time, I am happy to help with tidy up afterwards (that's code for taking away all the leftover cakes ha ha)
