Track Volunteers Required

by KateS | Oct 12, 2015 | Track Cycling

Track Racing doesn’t happen without the hard work of many. We currently have a very passionate group of volunteers, lead by Ian Gray that make track racing possible.

For the 2015/16 track season we want to recruit and train up more volunteers, so that we can roster the roles around each week so that not the same people are running track each week. If you are new to a role, as you learn we will have you working with an experienced person, until you are familiar with the task.

There are many roles that need to be filled including:

Judges
Time keepers
Starter
Result recorders
Handicapping
1^st Aid
Gate control/ calling the next race up
Report writing- please let us know if you are interested in writing a report about the racing to be posted on the BM web site after each meet. A roster will be made so that the task is shared around

If you are willing to help out this season, please let Kate Stewart know ( k8.stewart@hotmail.com ) . After we have a list of volunteers we can share the jobs around and post on the website each week with who is helping out.

The more volunteers we have, the easier and safer it is for everyone!
