West Cheshire Time Trial Association – club delegate required
A club member is needed to assist John Lyth with club delegate duties associated with the West Cheshire TTCA and to possibly take over the role in a couple of years time.There are nine meetings a year held at the Eureka cafe on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. The delegate is responsible for passing on race information to the marshals and give out event signs etc. The next meeting and race isn’t until next March. Please contact the club Secretary, Andy Templeman or John Lyth is you are interested in taking on this role.
Club Time Trial Secretary Vacancy
To date no one has volunteered to fill the now vacant club time-trial secretary post, This could lead to no club TT events being run during the 2014 season. It has been suggested that the role of club TT secretary is run by a committee with the following roles:
1. Submission of TT & police forms.
2. Four organisers for the four club TT events that are to be run during 2014. These four events are 10 mile events and are likely to be run on the A41 towards Broxton. An organiser will be expected to put the signage out, organise the marshalls & be in charge of signing on.
3. Organise the engraving of trophies and medals.
The above idea will be discussed at the next club meeting (8/1/14).
However, if club TTs are to continue volunteers are required.
