CC ASHWELL PRIMAVERA 18th May 2014 HELP!

carmelo

Well here it is again...9th edition I believe!


At the moment our race will be a same format to last year using the Cardington circuit except we are using Cople Village Hall as HQ .

It will be a 3/4 cat race again over 90 km on Sunday 18th May at 09.30.
Have had a lot of problems trying to get course around Ashwell approved so once again we are back to Cople...will keep trying though..

So am counting on the great support from the club again to make this event as good as previous editions...with the talent in this club we must have CCA winner this time??....

Below is a list of helpers from last year...could I be cheeky and hopeful and ask those who can't help to let me know and those that can to confirm...and any new helpers would be great!..BIG THANKS!

Hi Carmelo

Put me down to marshall too please.

Happy to do a quiet leafy corner, as I've a plan to make it a bit of a family picnic if the weather good.

Let me know if you want the programme design updating like previous years.

THANK YOU all those that have come forward! I am pretty much there now.I have made a provisional list(may change).Marshals need to come to Cople Village Hall .Grange Lane, Cople Beds, MK44 3TT at about 8.45 to 9.00 depending on whether you are riding to Marshall point.
Vic...you and Andy did a great job with putting up signs...could I ask the same which means you need to be there earlier 08.00...from Marshals list are there 2 that could come earlier to assist Vic and Andy please?

Drivers about 08.45...enough time to get signs on cars and radios sorted etc...

If anyone else comes forward they are most welcome..I can't stress the importance of Marshals enough..I know it is a bit boring but the more we have the safer the race will be.
For those who haven't done it before...you will be given a red flag with which to warn motorists that the race is approaching...some points need 3....We are technically not allowed to stop traffic..just 'request' but I tend to make a nuisance of myself and make sure they see me!...some may ask what is going on...politely tell them that a race is approaching and it will be passing very quickly in a few moments...we will also have 3 motorcycle marshals helping...sometimes we do get a driver who just wants to go through regardless..nothing we can do about that..

sorry to be missing this event.....it is always a good race and looks like CCA could do well this year. Good luck and good weather riders and helpers.

Neil M

Massive thank you to Carmelo and all that helped and marshalled today.
Really great race again in perfect weather.

LukeDanckert

Like Neil said, a massive thank you to all that helped and organised. A fun race with great weather.

wilburtrump

Thanks Carmelo... wonderful morning for it! Great marshalling too. Shame we couldn't get a couple of guys on the podium, next year we will for sure!

Robbie L

Top riding CCA! Great to see you in action working together.

Martin L

Well done everyone. Ashwell looked da business!

I had fun marshalling my corner. Free coffee from the good folk of Old Warden and might have bagged a 'gear cable fitting' session of all things at our next monthly Club night.

If anyone fancies a pint tonight to chew it all over. I'll be bobbling over the Three Tuns, Ashwell, from about 8.45/9pm.

Martin L

Can you see the mysterious Ghost of Old Warden in between our two riders on the second photo...

Robbie L

What's he doing?!
