KennyS Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Can you help ???? Are you able to help with marshalling on this event? Graeme Herd currently has a number of marshalls for this event but as it's an all afternoon event it would help if he has more in order that the marshalls can be rotated. If you can't make it in the afternoon maybe you can help with the Jets event in the morning Probably the highest profile cycling event in Renfrewshire this year Please contact Graeme via Dooleys 0141 889 6090 if you can help or just post below. You would be needed between 12:30 and 17:30 on the Saturday Thanks in advance KennyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted June 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 Reminder A reminder to all those who want to ride the Championship Events is that the closing date for entry, in order to qualify for the Championship, is Sunday 14th June i.e. this Sunday !!!!!!!!!!!!

KennyS Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Folks, To put it quite bluntly Renfrewshire Council and the Race Organiser have invested a significant amount of money and time respectively in this event and the number of entries to date is shockingly low to the extent that it will have serious ramifications on the Council's willingness to support local cycling activities, events and facilities in the future. The Organiser has extended the closing date for the event until Saturday 20th June. I would ask those who were planning on entering any of the Championship Races to contact Graeme Herd before Saturday 20th June or enter via Entry Central http://www.entrycentral.com/index.php?festivalID=123 Again, I would say that significant financial investment has already been made by the Council in planning for this event. At a time when our sport is coming under criticism in other regions for not engaging with the authorities this event deserves to be successful and with this we will all benefit from the Council's support in the future whether it's on the road, on the planned XC course on Glennifer Braes or in youth development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Jonathan Don't know the mechanics of Entry Central but would suggest you contact either them or Graeme Herd to check [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kenny MacDonald Posted June 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 The list on entry central is not complete , Graeme has a more up to date list but still worth pm to him. Can we have a show of hands of possible riders please. Paul , Ramsay ,Darryl , Kenny C have you entered yet ? Claire ,Greg,Jonathan entered Liam , Staurt if available stick an entry in or let me know and I will inform Graeme are you going to force Mul,KennyS and myself to ride a lap just to boost the numbers we would have asked Chung but knowing him he would still get lost on a closed road circuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin H Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Had looked at entering the 4th Cat support race but the MRS had already commited me to something that day . Perhaps earlier notice and better promotion of the event would have helped entry levels. I only found out about this when my mum pointed it out in the local freebie advertiser last week. Obviously there has been some organising problems as it was suggested towards the tail end of last year that these championships would be held around Paisley but there was no more mention of it until recently.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted June 19, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Would love to, but I am racing the day before and have something pre-arranged for the Sunday afternoon anyway. Had it been a morning start, then I would have done it, but the support race is a 4.30pm (which is a strange time!). Ramsay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the kids would have ridden and I would have supported the race either by riding or marshalling. I must say I am disappointed to have to miss this.# Good luck to Grambo and Kenny S et al.

Frank Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I might enter the support race. 30 mins cycling on my own would be an improvement on previous race attempts! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Colin, Although Graeme had been in discussions with the Council since last year it was only recently that he received the confirmation from the Police and Council that the Erskine circuit could be used. The preferred solution all along was in Paisley Town Centre but the ongoing roadworks in Bridge Street put a stop by the Police to any proposals (and there were a few) that Graeme put forward. Assuming all goes well this year then the Council are keen to have it in Paisley next year. There seems to be some problems with Entry Central but, as Kenny Mac says, drop Graeme a PM or email [email protected] to confirm your entry if you're unsure of EntryCentral Hope to see as many as possible Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions martin Posted June 19, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 are you going to force Mul,KennyS and myself to ride a lap just to boost the numbers That would be desperate! However got my excuse in early, like Darryl, I'll be away. I know Graeme has worked very hard to get the race on, but it is the 1st weekend of the school break, and that may help to explain the low numbers. Best of luck to the Joansin taking part in each event! M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions P McDonald Posted June 19, 2009 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Would love to do this one or helped out but I'm going to Spain Friday night. Its very unfortunate so many are away.. PMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Committee Alan McLean Posted June 19, 2009 Committee Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Spain as well. Pity. However we get to watch two live stages of the Tour so it's not all bad news. Have a great event folks. Joansin very much at the fore of WoS events this season, sorry I can't be there. Top marks again to those who are helping out. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan M Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just found out there is no chance of youths competing at the event this year as the majority of the riders are too inexperienced to ride! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyS Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Jonathan / Stuart Not Graemes's fault. He was keen to get you guys a ride in the support race but BC rules wouldn't allow it. You guys were effectively stepping up two levels to ride with the 4th Cats which is either not allowed or requires dispensaton from BC which Graeme could not get. I know he was very keen to give everyone a ride who entered Don't worry, I can find you botha vest if you turn up on Sunday morning KennyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan M Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 so now is there any chance of a johnstone jets u-16? and i'm able to marshall i think oh and i thought i heard someone say there was roller racing on? Or something of the sort;-)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyS Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Due to the Youths being unable to race in the support race the Jets U14 race will be extended to include the U16 category. Start time will be 11:55am. Apologies for the late notice KennyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
