In case anyone missed it first time round - here are the original details Charles posted on the old forum.
The date for everyone's favourite club event has been confirmed as Thursday the 8th June. As per previous years, we will be hosting round 2 of the Midweek Mountain bike Madness series at Kenworthy Woods, Chorlton Water Park that has become one of the most popular events in the series, attracting 100+ riders.
For the last two years we have added a Go-Ride event for under 16's, which Scott Wilson is going to be organising again this year. This event is for Under 16's and is a great introduction to cycle sport. So if you know of any budding young bike riders, please let them know about the event. The key thing that we're trying to get across is that this will be a fun event and is for both complete novices and experienced young riders.
In order for this event to carry on being a success we do require a number of helpers for both the main race and the Go-Ride event. Obviously we understand that as is it a week day/night and some people may struggle due to work and commitments at home. However, it would be great if we could get a good turnout to make light work of what is a genuinely nice evening.
Please find a description of roles and the approximate timings at which things will kick off below. I would be grateful for any help people can give and would be especially grateful if anyone can get down for early afternoon to help with the course set up etc. The ideal of course would be that we had enough people helping out so that members who want to race, can do.
Approximate Timings:
Course setup: 2pm - 4pm
Sign On: 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Go-Ride: 6:00pm - 7:00pm
Main event: 7:15pm - 8:15pm
Presentation: 8:30pm
