Note: The Human resources required to conduct criterium racing at Heffron Park on a year round basis is quite demanding.  The only way to accomplish this human resources demand is to call on our membership for assistance.   As part of our Duty of Care to racing cyclists, RBCC rosters race marshals and first aid officers EVERY race day.  This is for your own safety.  In order to facilitate racing we also require commissaires and assistance at the registration desk, together with people to assist with set up and put away. You may be called upon to assist with the above mentioned duties.  Generally you will only be called upon once per year to perform a compulsory membership duty. Having said that, it is still not compulsory that you perform the duty personally just that you take responsibility for it getting done.  In other words, if you can get another rider or some other responsible person to perform it for you then you will be able to race with our blessing. 

Unfortunately, there is a small minority who fail to attend despite the fact that they are emailed and/or phoned in advance.  This behaviour lets everyone down and could, if we were unable to find a replacement, see racing cancelled for the day.  We have tried everything to try and ensure that all rostered assistants and safety marshals attend.  If you fail to attend without having notified the Marshal co-ordinator (Richard Jenkins) and/or given reasonable excuse or reasonable time to roster someone else, you will not be allowed to ride again until you perform safety marshal duty.

The chart left is the Marshal Roster for the remainder of 2010.

1. Marshalls must report to the Commissaire (Inside Club Rooms) NLT 12.30pm, on the designated day, for a duties briefing. Marshall duty will conclude at approx 4 pm after the A - D grade race.  (Daylight Saving NLT 2.45pm on the designated day, for a duties briefing. Marshall duty will conclude at approx 5 pm after the A - D grade race)

2. If you are unable to undertake the duty on the designated day, please contact Richard Jenkins on 0408 646798 (after working hours) or email : richardjenkins@randwickbotanycc.com.  Please give plenty of notice so that alternative arrangements can be made."

3. Individuals who undertake their rostered duty, as programmed, may claim their next club race free; and

4. Those who fail to undertake their rostered duty without reasonable excuse and/or do not notify Richard Jenkins of their inability to do so will not be allowed entry into club races until such time as they have undertaken a marshalling duty.
