Dear Members,
Thank the members who have volunteered to marshal for the winter season . . . so far. We have about 60% of the required marshals. We have had a very good response from new members as well as the old hands, but could do better from some of our more regular racers. A further response is needed.
We are still short of marshals for the races after Easter;
• Saturday 26th April, Old Federal Highway - one Marshal required
• Saturday 3rd May April, Tidbinbilla - two Marshals required
• Saturday 10th May, Lookout Hill - four Marshals required
Please send your marshal nominations to the Race Committee providing your contact details, the number of races you will marshal at and any race/date preferences;
- Name.
- e-mail.
- Mob. No.
- Marshal experience yes/no?
- No. of races I will marshal for 2014 winter season
Please indicate preferred events, else leave blank and race committee will allocate you to a race or keep you in a pool for any back-filling.
WINTER 2014 RACE PROGRAM
I look forward to your nominations!
Happy and safe racing,
Alex O’Shea
Club President
