Boys and Girls

Times they are a changing and no longer are we going to inflict the race management on one person which means more than one person is required (only a politician would even try to deny that!).

To ensure that we have a full race series and happy people it has been suggested that we form a rota of who is organising which event.

To kick things off the nice Mr Kevin Jenkins has offered his services for the scoring at Castle Combe but he will need some help since all of us will be racing together.

At least one other person will be required to call out numbers, mop his fevered brow, etc.. If someone who is not planning to race would be happy to help we will be extremely grateful.

Race organisers will be required for all the events to come, aside from Lancaster and Preston which are already signed up for and the second Castle Combe which someone else is doing.

I will be posting up a list of what will need to be done in the near future but until then let's have some volunteering!

My other half, Nikki, will be at Castle Combe,
and as she has no intention of racing, has volunteered
to help with scoring.


I want to give peace, love and kisses out to this whole stinking world!

I could ask my wife to help, but that would mean bringing her along...

I'm planning on going to every race again this year and I'll be happy to do whatever needs doing...

I am willing to take on some of the organisation of Castle Combe but will need some help (to say the least).  Anna was thinking of Racing (Since she is totally mad) though only for the first hour. If someone tells me where to pick up the key then I am happy to do that. Jobs I can think of at the moment (and you can do some of these even if you are racing)

Signing on; Checking out the track (probably better on a trike or the likes since you may have to keep stopping to pick up rubbish); Race starting and marshalling (I Need to think about the 1 hour race) ; Lap taking (probably a few doing this will be better since it is 2 hours and so people will need to go off to the loo, warm up, get coffee, etc).  Any volounteers for any of these then please say.  No useful help declined. 

Just a quick note to everyone Can you please make sure that your numbers are completely visible from the front and sides.  This is not just being picky - We won't have 1 timer per rider, so if we can't clearly see your number then we can't mark you down as completed the lap - your choice, but it is a long way to ride round for no reward!

No need for a key - all CC ask for is for the last one out to shut the gates.

Probably no need to check the track either - unlikely to have had pikeys or other undesirables breaking bottles on the track.

I would think that if we have a 1 hour junior race we will need at least one extra body to tell them when to stop and to make sure they don't block riders carrying on.

Emma, the other half, is comming with me to Castle Coombe and is happy to help with the lap counting. Being new to this sort of thing she doesn't want to do it on her own but is happy to help out.

We'll be there from 7am race morning (actually we'll be camping the night before) and our race is 10.30am - 4.30pm so I guess we'll shut the gate!

In the mean time, we'll do our best to keep Pikies (woohoo! a forum where that word is allowed!) and other undesirables off the circuit.

The only ABSOLUTE no that I believe CC have given us is that on no accout what so ever are motor vehicles to be driven on the race circuit. At all. Ever.

But I can't see anyone from either the BPCC or BHPC wanting to anyway!

Really looking forward to a "joint" meeting for the first time in ages.

Hmm Not having a car on the circuit, or the edge of the circuit could be interesting in how we would power (and protect) the timing system in future.
