CC ASHWELL PRIMAVERA ROAD RACE 17th May 2015 HELP PLEASE!!
Well here it is again...our 10th edition !
At the moment our race will be a same format to last year using the Cardington circuit and Cople Village Hall as HQ .
It will be a 3/4 cat race again over 92 km on Sunday 17th May at 09.30.
Yet again have had a lot of problems trying to get a course around Ashwell approved so once again we are back to Cople...will keep trying though and as some of you are aware
with the Letchworth Crit in mind and police seemingly becoming more supportive to cycle racing in Herts the CCA road race which actually goes through Ashwell looks more of a possibility.
Will Smith will be co-organiser of the race this year to which I am grateful as I have a busy year ahead so please give him the great support you have given me over the years
to make this event as good as previous editions....

This year we're looking for people to help with:
Driving (4 needed, preferably with a current BC membership)
Licence Admin (helping with signing on)
Assistant Judges (assisting the Chief Judge with rider placement)
Signage (putting the signs out)
and finally...
MARSHALS!
We need a minimum of 14 marshals to keep the riders safe in the race. Without this number the race will not be able to go ahead.
A HUGE THANKS to all that can help.
happy to drive again, bc membership is current.

We still need some lovely CCA type volunteers for the Primavera. Only a couple of weeks away now, everything is being put together but we're a little short on marshals and cake providers/tea makers.
Any help would be enormously appreciated. Three races in the Eastern Road Race League have already been cancelled this season due to various reasons. The Primavera won't be able to be put on without a few more volunteers and that'd be a real shame. For any of you that saw the Fleche Welwyn on the Cople circuit this year, you would have seen a fantastic aggressive and exciting race! Let's hope that the Primavera will be a match for that!

Hope the event goes well.

I'm really sorry, I'm unable to make the race, despite putting an entry in. I forgot at the time that I was committed to house sitting for my parents that weekend. Gutted.
Hopefully this will give you enough notice to allow someone else to race.

If anything has changed and you can no longer make the race could you let us know ASAP as we'll need to sort something out. We've just about got the minimum amount needed to get the race on the road so any more help is always appreciated. It should be a great morning with some good racing to watch too.
Huge thanks,
Will
It may be a bit late but I could help out in some capacity if needed, marshalling? Let me know.
Mark.
