With the clubs Valentines 10K race only a week away Joe and I have now completed Marshalling point allocations and various other tasks that are required to help things run smoothly. I would like to thank everyone who has offered their time and volunteered their services both before and on the day. The club couldn’t put this race together without the help of its members and once again you have all shown it is important to give something back to the club when we all get so much from it.
Although I shall not be running tomorrow evening I will there both before and after the group runs to hand out details of your marshalling locations and committee members will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. I will also be giving out info sheets on Wednesday evening but if you cannot make either of these nights this week please let me know and I will arrange an alternative way of getting the information to you. Failing that you can always come and get your information before the race, but please allow enough time to get to your point.Please see the lists below to ensure your name is on there just in case I have missed anyone, if I have missed you out please contact me on stone.kev@gmail.com so I can allocate a marshalling point. Likewise if your name is on the list and you are no longer available please let me know.

Most of those listed above will already know what they are doing but again I shall be at the club tomorrow and Wednesday to let you all know what is required.Hi Vis tabards will be available from the club prior to the event on either Monday or Wednesday if you require one before the day. Also anyone wishing to come to the race HQ early on the day there are one or two bags that will require filling for each entrant and having done this job last year I can say with experience that many hands make light work where this job is concerned. We will be at the venue from around 7am so please feel free to turn up and lend a hand with the many jobs that will need doing. Also if anyone has some space in their car to transport items required from the club to the venue please let us know, we will be holding a shed party at the club Saturday evening, please feel free to come along and take what you can manage.
Once again I would like to thank everyone for their support and look forward to seeing you all next Sunday for the big day and please remember that if you are marshalling do not take any risks and stay safe, better a runner delayed then an injury.
