Bib Numbers:
Numbers are the key! If our timekeeper and finish tokener can’t see your number you won’t be given a time.
- If something has happened to your number come and talk to us and we can help out.
Volunteers:
- Our cross country events rely on volunteers. Without them, we cannot proceed. Please consider volunteering and see me for details.
- You can volunteer and still run. Arrive early, time yourself, and your run will be put into the results like you’ve run at your handicap
- You can also just volunteer and receive 5 points (which is the same as not taking out a place while running)
Scribes:
- Please provide your information clearly to the scribes to ensure accurate recording of results. We don’t want any results redos for Norm this season.
- Please remember to come and see the scribes straight after your run, no swimming first
Lucky Dip Draws:
- Lucky dip draws are held each week, but you must be present to win! No other family member can collect it for you.
Results/Handicaps:
- There is a monthly and yearly point score. You can only win the monthly prize once, but all your points count towards your yearly total.
- If you do a mixture of distances things get a little bit more complicated, so come and have a chat with me and I’ll explain.
- If your handicap is missing from the main board do not fear, we have a magically historic folder. So come and grab it and you’ll be set.
- Your handicap can change each week, so please ensure you are checking the board each week.
