Parking –

Teams Time Trial – Saturday 5^th July 2008

The field beside the school will be used for this purpose, this year with a cost of $2.00 per vehicle. The reason for this being that unfortunately there was damage to fences last year and so a hireage fee has been charged to the organisers this year.

If the paddock cannot be used due to weather conditions, parking will be available prior to the one way bridge before the school and down an adjacent side road. This will mean a short walk of 300-500 metres to the venue.

Marshalling –

Sunday Morning only -

Ten people are still required for this important task on the large circuit. These persons would need to be on site by 7.45am through until approximately 12.15pm but even an hour and half would be of assistance. It has been suggested that if school do not want to assist they supply a reasonable donation to cover hiring a group to do this job.

Lead Cars – All of Sunday

Cars and drivers are required for the ten Individual Road Races on Sunday. The Race Organiser will make sure there is some help to these drivers.

Food –

There will be food on sale both days, please support these fund raising efforts.

Any questions please do not hesitiate to contact John Young
