The committee has decided that a rota of volunteers is going to be set up for the Tuesday night time trial series. We need marshalls and time keepers to ensure the burden doesn't always fall on the same few. For riders this may mean missing a week of racing to help out. Alternatively if you aren't racing this season and you still want to be involved your help will be gratefully appreciated. If you are available please let Pete Rose know.
Thanks
