RE: [VC Walcot] Inaugural VC Walcot Open Hill Climb - 4 October 2009

[Jonathan Arnold]

James,

 

More than happy to marshal, make tee, bakes cakes or whatever. Thinking
about it perhaps I’d better give the baking a miss, last time wasn’t pretty.
In all seriousness the rest of the Arnold household can all turn out a mean
Victoria Sponge and/or chocolate rice crispy cakes if needed.

 

Cheers,

Jonathan

Calling all members of VC Walcot,

 

The first ever Open Hill Climb organised by VC Walcot is being held at 15:00
on Sunday 4 October 2009 on “The Avenue” between Claverton and Bath
University.  It would be great to have strong club support (both in terms of
entries, and road-side helpers) to ensure a successful event and to
reinforce the club’s profile.      

 

Race entries (closing date 22 September)




Hill climbs are great fun and cater for riders of all abilities.  It is
great way to end a long (and hot?) summer. For those 5 minutes or so of
racing, you’ll feel like Bradley Wiggins on the slopes of the Pyrenees.  In
the words of Paul Sherwen; it is time to open the suitcase of courage.

   

An Entry form is attached (note the Hill Climb section is on page 2).
Completed entry forms should be sent to Pete Giddings, 19 Hampton House,
Grosvenor Bridge Road, Bath, BA1 6BE.  Cheques for £7 should be made out to
Velo Club Walcot.  The closing date is 22 September 2009, and early entries
are encouraged.  Details can be found on
http://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/

 

Not only will there be prizes for the top three individual times overall,
there will also be a prize for the fastest club in the West District region
(based on the top three riders in the team).  Obviously VC Walcot needs to
crush all before us in this category so please support the club!

 

 

Marshals and other helpers

 

There are several other areas in which we require your help.  If you are
unable, or would prefer not to ride, it would be great if you could still
marshal, or volunteer for another luminous-jacket wearing position.  Please
let me know (preferably by return email) whether you are able to help out on
the day.

 


Spread the word


 

As mentioned above, it would be great to have as many entries as possible.
Please mention the event to anyone else who you think might be interested.
I have sent emails to other clubs in the region and if you would like a copy
of a “flyer” to pass on, please let me know.

 


Calling all Graphic Designers 


 

There are also other ways to help!  Does anyone have experience with Graphic
Design, and would they be willing to design a professional-looking Starter
and Finisher sheets?  The Starter sheet would be sent out to all competitors
and the Finisher sheet would be projected onto the wall in the Race HQ after
the event.  All good advertising for budding graphic designers


 

We also need a Chequered board for the finish line.  Does anyone have such
an item already or can they produce one?

 

Once, again please support the club for this great event and get your
entries in now!

 

Please feel free to email me or Pete with any queries!

 

Kind regards,

James
