Marshals for 2012's Big Event

[Geoff H]

Hello Fellow Harriers. The Olympics may possibly have taken your mind away briefly from the Ilkley Incline in just over four weeks time. However I hope your training is going well for the big day. If, however, you are unfortunate enough to be unable to enter there is always a marshal's vest available just for you. To reserve your's please contact me on 01943 607799 or g.howard@tiscali.co.uk.

True to form there has been a terrific response to my post asking for marshals for the Incline and so, unless any of those who have contacted me have to withdraw, all roles are now covered. Having said that, please don't let me discourage anyone from still volunteering as a reserve, as it is extremely helpful to know who can be called upon at the eleventh hour should it be necessary. A great response typical our marvellous club - thanks to everyone who responded.

On the night of the Incline, getting the first results sheet back down to the Start from the Finish as soon as possible is really helpful to the Results Team in getting started with the job of working out the overall placings and prizes and thus minimising the Prize Giving waiting time for competitors. The fastest way identified so far is for a mountain biker to set off down to the Start with the sheet as soon as the first sheet has been completed by the Finish Team (i.e. when first 24 runners have finished). If any member fancies a bit of mountain biking on the evening of 5 September from about 6.30 to 7.15 and can courier the results sheet as described above, please let me know. The Start and Finish Teams and I would be very grateful. There would be no need to go back up for further results sheets as it would not speed up the process to bike these down.
