Marshals required

Dear Members,

Thank the members who have volunteered to marshal for the winter season . . . so far. We have about 60% of the required marshals. We have had a very good response from new members as well as the old hands, but could do better from some of our more regular racers. A further response is needed.

We are still short of marshals for the races after Easter;

• Saturday 26th April, Old Federal Highway - one Marshal required

• Saturday 3rd May April, Tidbinbilla - two Marshals required

• Saturday 10th May, Lookout Hill - four Marshals required

Please send your marshal nominations to the Race Committee providing your contact details, the number of races you will marshal at and any race/date preferences;

- Name.

- e-mail.

- Mob. No.

- Marshal experience yes/no?

- No. of races I will marshal for 2014 winter season

Please indicate preferred events, else leave blank and race committee will allocate you to a race or keep you in a pool for any back-filling.

WINTER 2014 RACE PROGRAM

I look forward to your nominations!

Happy and safe racing,

Alex O’Shea

Club President

Getting Ready for Gunning

A reminder that the Gunning 2 Day is coming up on the weekend of the 17/18 May. That’s less than a month away so better get those kms into the legs to get ready. More details to follow as we get closer to the date.

Tour de Tweed

The 6th Battle on the Border Cycling Festival is once again taking place on 15 – 18 May 2014 in the Tweed Valley, New South Wales. The Battle on the Border is one of the largest cycling festivals and competitive cycling tours in Australia and comprises of two main events: the multi stage Tour de Tweed and the social Gran Fondo.
