KennyS Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Are you able to assist? It would be greatly appreciated. Please post below  We are looking for assistance on the Saturday and / or Sunday to drive the three routes to take note of roadworks or other diversions. In previous years we have split this into sections so that there was no need to drive all of the route One or two members required to man the sign-on desk. All sign on sheets will be provided. It's a case of making sure that all riders sign on on the morning as well as taking monies for those riders entering on the day Is there anyone who could stand in as replacement Organiser as I now need to be in Manchester that weekend? Duties would include reviewing Risk Assessment on day, briefing the riders, setting riders off in groups of 20 at designated times, being point of contact for any incidents All catering has been organised  Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
