PORT TALBOT WHEELERS NEEDS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,
Scores on the doors are I have the timekeepers, Pushers off, and a couple of Marshals. But this event runs from 9:00am until 2:00pm so we need more.

Volunteers are required or else I will name names....

Also as the last two national competition records have gone in this event so one role I really need is a checker for the turn to tick a sheet to say the riders have passed through. This is needed to ratify any competition records.

Who's up for this. Peter Jones, what about you? your good with a pen.

Also Mr Valario, Have you got any signs as I don't seem to have many. If you do, can you get them down the club on Friday for me to collect?

Sorry Les,
I have got just ONE arrow in my shed !
I brought ALL the arrows ( and the few warning signs ) I'd had down to the club house last year and squeezed them into the cupboards .
Would there be any in the CJs yard ?

100 plus members and no offers of support, many thanks guys.

Les, I can Marshall on Sunday ,see you there.

Racing in the Gower sorry!

Les, I'd be happy to be an extra pair of hands and help out with the refreshments once I've finished riding.

Sorry Les, last race of the season in Gower this Sunday

Just Like to say thanks to following who have volunteered to assist on Sundays Open 25.

Nigel and Anthony, Bevan, Ray Matthews, Spot, Dai Triggs and John Williams, Little John, JD and his family, Selwyn, Pip, Peter Jones, Helen and Phil Ley, Tony and Shirley, Paul Naysmith, David Hendry, John and Pat Pritchard, Alf and Of course, My Wife Karen.

I was getting worried for a while, as ever, People turned up in the club on Friday to confirm their availability.

Here's hoping we get good weather, an uneventful day and that a couple of comp records go.

Well Guys,
What Can I say, Excellent support from the guys once again, The feedback I've been getting is that our event has been one of the best this year and it couldn't have been done without all the helpers.

Well done les, another fantastic event again,but feel a bit of a fraud,and a spare what sit at a wedding,after Selwyn accomplished all of the pushing off on his own, am used to be put to one side when riders of a certain sex are involved,but this year he did everyone!.he better not complain of a bad back on the Wednesday ride.

Apologies Les for not letting you know sooner. I had every intention of helping out just forgot to actually mention it.

Well what a great turn out. The weather Gods were kind to us, it certainly made marshalling on a roundabout for five hours a bit more pleasant. It was good to spot jerseys from clubs from all over the country.
I did have some fellow riders join me for a while to cheer on the racers which I'm sure was a boost to them.

I did have one rider shout out to me "How far to go?" which unfortunately I didn't know exactly so did a quick search on my phone so I could let the other riders know. That's one I shall have to make a point of finding out beforehand for next time.

Chapeau to Les for raising the club's profile to where it should be!
