What I forgot (amongst other things) at the committee meeting last night was a thankyou to Jackie for taking on the promotion of the 10 - and to Andy for assisting her with it. This will be recorded in the minutes.
While I am at it, I am not sure if we ever really said thankyou publicly to Frank for his many years of promoting the event. So: thankyou, Frank, for all your years of hard work promoting the 10, and now for your ongoing and time-consuming work as a District Timekeeper.
Also a thankyou to all of the marshals who stepped forward and volunteered to assist Andy and Jackie: especially everyone who said "I usually do this" and just got on with it. Finding marshalls for all the club's requirements is a nightmare, those of us who have to organise the marshalling hate asking individuals, especially as so many people seem amazed to even be asked personally (we tend to feel like we've just grown a second head or something.) and hours of phoning around in the run-up to an event is just what an organiser doesn't need.

P.S. Don't forget that Simon desperately needs all the help he can get out at the Women's Championship Road Race on Sat 17th May - especially as so many of the usual suspects will be away at the time, and then Andy will be needing another set of marshalls for the 15 (which might be a 10 - due to roadworks) on Sat June 28th and finally (for now!) I am looking for assistance for the SCCU 50 on Sunday June 29th.
Most of the marshalling for the 50 should be supplied by other clubs belonging to the SCCU - although we still need to supply our usual 2 marshalls - however I am hoping for some assistance from Phoenix members on the morning as a backup and for ancilliary things around the HQ. You will need to get up early, but hopefully you won't have to stand around marshalling, unless you'd like to relieve our 2 allotted marshalls.
This year the SCCU 50 is a fully Open and BBAR counting event (rather than the usual Association event), so I anticipate close to a full field, if not completely full.
