TriAthy Volunteering News
Just to give club members a quick update on this. Over the next few weeks you will hear me asking for your help and support for the 2009 race. The race is almost doubled in size again in 2009, and so the demand for volunteers is greater again.
For Trilogy, we have the opportunity to increase the amount raised from this race in 2008 if we can match or better the support we gave last year. I am finalising all of the details and hope to be able to present them to you in full in a couple of weeks time (at a club meeting).
In the meantime, I do have one piece of exciting news for you.
In 2009, the two TriAthy races will not be running simultaneously (TriAthy Olympic in the morning, TriAthy Sprint in the late afternoon). As a member of Trilogy, you will be able to race either the Olympic or Sprint race, and you will be able to do this for free if you agree to marshal the other.
For this to work, we need more than ever people to bring along another non-racing volunteer from outside the club as per last year. For one reason, if the whole club decides to race one, marshal the other, then we end up with no more than 40 volunteers from Trilogy (where we need over 200); also in financial terms, while we would all enjoy a free race, our return compared to last year would be about a quarter.
One final thing: If you are planning to race TriAthy as per the above, then please do not register in the normal way. I will give you details in due course, a place will be available for you even if it sells out.
