Volunteer Sign-up

Post by Dobi »

We are in need of volunteers to help us pull off another successful Hare Scramble race. The race weekend is July 19th,20th 2008. Please review the list of positions that require filling and pm me or post here where you are able to fill in. I would like to see some of our racers out on Saturday to help out with the kid race. (Rumor has it that if you are a club member and you are out pre-riding the course instead of volunteering on Saturday, your race start position on Sunday may be compromised :thinking:) You don't need to be a high level rider to come out and ride sweep. The course lay-out will be very rider friendly with just enough technical sections to keep it challenging. If you are coming out for the day, please bring a backpack with sunscreen, hat, appropriate clothing snacks and water. We will have water and pop available at the race (free of course) and there will be a gourmet hot dog supper compliments of Spinalguy Chiropractic for all riders and volunteers. See you there!! :thumbsup:

Just to clarify, do you still have the volunteer sheets from the last meeting? it would be handy to have that posted on the forum, if it isn't already.

I am unable to attend the race as I am a groomsmen at my buddies wedding that weekend. I would however like to volunteer for course setup the weekend before and I should be able to help with deflagging as well.

Keep me posted on the details.

We have had great response to our volunteer request but I still need people to help with sign in and lap scoring. It really is not that hard of a task and we will provide instructions and a free race shirt to all volunteers!!!
