Due to unforeseen circumstances the event had to be shortened to avoid the
roadworks on the Ashford leg, hopefully we will have a full course on 8th August on our
next outing. The full distance of today’s event was 11.5 miles, measured with
Garmin.

DE
LAUNE CLUB EVENTS – CHANGES YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF
Dear fellow De Laune members
The way that the club events are going to be run
this year has been amended somewhat – unfortunately no change has been
made to the fact that you still have to train and race and it will still
probably be hard-work (racing’s not meant to be easy is it?!!) but what
has changed is the entry format and the way things will run on the days
in question.
Firstly, this year we are combining our three club
event races over 25 miles with three other clubs (Thanet R.C., Ashford
Whs & Rye & Dist) – these are to be held on Sundays 16th May,
8th August & 26th Sept. This only applies to the
club 25’s – the OMA 10 on Saturday 14th Aug and the
hill-climb on Sunday 16th October will still be solely for De
Laune members but the way we’d like to encourage you to enter them will
be as shown below.
The fact that four clubs are all using the same
course (Q25/8 Chilham) the same day means
that we can all combine resources with regards to helping the event run
smoothly ie: time-keepers, marshals, pushers-off etc. so it reduces the
pressure on De Laune members if it were to be run as an event purely for
De Laune members. There are a minimum of 12 separate duties that need to
be covered to run an event on this course – this means each club only
need cover three of them.
I am liaising with the other three clubs to ensure
that we all provide an equal share of helpers for each event and ensure
that each club knows where their responsibility lies for each date.
Although there will be four clubs using the same
course on the same day (and using the same time-keepers – it makes
things far, far simpler to use one set of time-keepers for the whole day
rather than each club providing their own) in effect it will be four
entirely separate events in one. Each club will be responsible for their
own numbers, their own start-sheet, paying their own CTT levies, having
their own signing-on sheets and so on (basically they will do exactly as
they would do if they were running their own club event entirely for
their own members and with no other club using the facilities) but the
four separate start sheets will be combined into one with regards to
numbering of riders (I will be sent each club’s start-sheet and I will
then produce an official one that combines all four).
For example: Ashford Whs have ten riders, Rye
eight, Thanet 12 and De Laune 30 (if only !!). Each club will send me
their start order at which point I’ll produce a start sheet with Ashford
riders as numbers 1-10, Rye as numbers 15-22, Thanet will be off as
numbers 25-36 and we will be numbers 40-69 (I intend to place small time
gaps between the last rider of one club and the first of the next). I
will not change any rider start order once I have been sent it by each
club....I will merely add numbers next to names. After each event I will
also produce one over-all result sheet which will be sent to the event
co-ordinator from each club and it will show all times recorded on the
day in question (I will probably do this by each club rather than
fastest to slowest for every rider)
Also, the way that the events are entered will be
amended slightly. Instead of just turning up on the day we are
encouraging you to advise me in advance of the events you intend to ride
by way of the form at the end of this article. It can be just one, some
or (hopefully) all five. You then simply post the completed form to me
together with the appropriate entry fee to my-self in advance of the
first event (£2 per event). We are trying to discourage entering on the
line if at all possible which, I hope you’ll agree, will not be so easy
to accommodate given the way things are now being done , but that
doesn’t preclude you from doing so if you thought initially you couldn’t
ride a specific event but could actually do so come the actual day.
Anyway – I do hope that I have explained things
clearly enough for you to understand the changes. There’s not a lot
changing in reality. Instead of just the De Laune being present there
will be three other clubs. The onus on the De Laune providing all the
helpers to run the event will be spread-out over four clubs (that can’t
be a bad thing). And instead of just turning up, signing-on and starting
you need to just think a little bit ahead and decide what events you
want to ride beforehand.
Whilst I am rambling on (I hope I haven’t bored you
too much!!) could I also use this opportunity to ask for volunteers to
help run the three events please? As the onus of covering the 12 duties
is being spread over four clubs we only need to fill three for each
event. We are already providing the time-keepers and collecting the
village hall keys for the first one on the 16th May (which is
actually three tasks that need covering) as Val & Tony have kindly
offered their services in this respect so in effect I only need three
willing volunteers for each of the second and third events. Would you be
able to contact me sooner rather than later if you are able to help
please? – I want to be able to complete a rota for all three events
prior to the first one being run so that each club knows well in advance
their commitments.
I have asked the other three clubs to notify me by
the 30th April which of the duties they wish to cover for
each event so if you are able to spare a bit of time on the days
concerned and would like to do a specific task or marshal in a specific
place then it would be better to notify me sooner rather than later so
that we can “get in there first” before the other clubs do so !!!
Many thanks for taking the time to read and digest
this little (??!!!) item. If you are unsure of anything then please do
ask me. Similarly, if you are able to offer you help then please do
notify me as soon as you are able to – this will really make my job a
wee bit easier
Yours in sport and Happy Cycling

As an obligation of belonging to the S.C.C.U. it
appears that, if riders from an affiliated club ride an association
event during the preceding year, then that club has an obligation to
provide a certain number of marshals for the following year’s
association promotions.
I have been contacted by Tony Alston, who is
responsible for co-ordinating such things, and he has advised me that
members of the De Laune C.C. rode S.C.C.U. events during the course of
2009 and thus we need to provide some marshals for the 2010 season.
The number we need to provide is determined by how
many De Laune members rode S.C.C.U. events last year and, as a result,
for 2010 we need to provide just three marshals over two events.
The two events in question are the Association
“10”on 22nd May (two volunteers required) and the “25” on 5th
September (one required).
In order to fulfil our obligations are there any
members who would be willing to direct riders the appropriate way in
either of the two aforementioned events please? I guess that, if you
rode a S.C.C.U. event in 2009, then you might feel it appropriate that
you ought to marshal but there may well be members who would wish to
volunteer to marshal irrespective of whether or not they rode in an
event.
If you feel that you can help in fulfilling the De
Laune’s marshalling obligations as detailed above then could you please
contact me accordingly – obviously in good time so that I can advise
Tony Alston of the names and addresses (the address is needed so the
organiser can forward a start-sheet to the appropriate person at the
time of the event)
As an aside, the S.C.C.U. are also asking for
volunteers to help in the Association 100 on 25th July – this
is over and above our obligatory marshalling duties but it may be that
someone might want to help marshal this event anyway. If so, then please
let me know and I can contact Tony accordingly
Many thanks
