Southwick Hill evening event 16th July

2008-07-07T17:24:29Z

I hope to see as many as possible at the map memory score event on Wednesday 16th. I need someone who can take money at the car park and point runners up the hill to the start/finish. The job should not interfere with your getting a run. We may also need someone who can help Jaquie with download after they have finished. And, of course, control collectors. Put a message up here or email me via the Southdowns contacts page (junior team manager). Cheers.

Last minute - help needed at Horsham Park this Sunday

2008-07-02T18:59:08Z

Due to a last minute change in plans, our team of five need someone else to help us out at Horsham Parkfest this Sunday, 6th July. Just a short stint from 12:00 to 15:00 would be really helpful as it tends to get very busy. Any offers to me please by forum, email or telephone 07729 729399. Travel expenses paid, free parking and an exciting event to look around as well.

Borde Hill evening event 18th June

2008-06-10T15:34:49Z

I have planned an event with a slight difference for Borde Hill next week so hope as many as possible can make it. Assuming someone steps up to help with putting the event on the computer, so we can use SI, publish results, etc, i have most of the bases covered. But I do need a couple of people to help with map sales and registration. Neither job should interfere with your getting a run. Please post a reply here or email me via the website contacts page (junior team manager) if you can help.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

JK Prizegiving

2008-02-29T23:20:41Z

Does any one have a step stool / small sturdy box that I could borrow for the JK prizegiving to make it easier to get on and off the podium & staging please?

Also, is there anyone who lives relatively close to the JK Village at Crowborough who would be prepared to be on “standby” to help out with the prize giving on Sunday 23rd if the weather is too bad to hold it at the event? It would only mean a couple of hours in the evening. If you’re interested, please either PM me or leave a message below.

Many thanks
Ali
