So to date a lot of the pre event organization is in hand from organizing insurance, event license, Red Cross ,booking commissar, mc, organizing field, agreeing route course, loos ,barriers food vendors plus all the details that can be done pre event.

What is now needed is for members to confirm that they are available to volunteer and take on various roles either as team leader or member on the day. No need to be shy the more helpers the better also a great opportunity for new and old members to meet off the bike and get to know each other.

Prior to the 23th the course needs some preparation so will be posting some dates and times on separate posts in forum for dig days nights, the whole loop has to be racked ,strimed ,repaired as required, also a few sections require furze to be cut back plus one new section needs some work done so plenty to do

On Sat the 22th course will be getting taped in the morning and hope to have open for practice by 2pm
How long will the day be ?

On the 23th July set up will be from 8.00am to knock down tidy up about 5/5-30
Dig Days nights a few hours as your available

Below a few areas that need volunteers for the 23th

Can't commit to anything just yet as maybe travelling but I'll know a week or so ahead so can update for on-the-day help then. If I'm in town I'll help out.

More than happy to put some elbow grease into the dig days though so please keep me posted

Get on board folks like terry says it's important that we put on an event we are proud of and that we take the opportunity to show other event organisers how we think an event should be run
Ps think that should read the 23rd of july
Also we are always looking for sponsors so if you know someone that might like to sponsor the event then don't be shy
A bit like Gary I'm not too sure if I'm in Dublin yet the week leading up to the race but happy to help on the day.
I'll do Adult sign on if that helps Terry? And should manage to be around to help for the whole day.
I'm thinking of doing the Race myself as I never have and have always wanted but just need a bike suitable. I probably won't win......but don't want to come dead last either!
I was meant to be away that weekend but the wife has very kindly agreed that we can go away on the Monday instead, so I can do the usual course prep stuff, a few hours Sat and I can be about for all of Sunday.
I'll be available on Sun 23rd all day to do whatever job Terry assigns me.
Away leading up to it between work and holliers, but available on the day from start to finish

We'll be away cycling out butts off in poland from the 21st, but can help out on the lead up to it
We will be around to help with course prep leading to event and on both days for taping ,cleaning away etc,
Yea taping and cleaning duty, marshalling for the early races, as I may want to take part in the race after the past few years working during the races...
