Saturday 21st January 2023
Meet:- Criffel Stone 9.30am
We’ll try something slightly different this week.
If any members have a favourite ride/cafe, that they would like to do/visit again.
Or if anyone would like to try somewhere new, then message Brian Leach privately through WhatsApp with your suggestions before Wednesday 18th January.
The only criteria is, the cafe must be able to accommodate us and the bikes must be safe.
Marshal and Timekeeper briefing. To try and work out a rota for the upcoming TT season to share the workload around and get more people familiar with the role of assistant timekeeper / starter, and also the role of course marshals. A minimum of 9 people are needed to run each 10 mile event and 12 people for the 15 and 15 mile events ( 1 x starter 2 x timekeepers and 7 course marshals ) not to mention setting up the course, and deploying and collecting warning signs.
