The British Cyclosportive is a fantastic opportunity for people to get into the spirit of the Tour de France, both for riders and for enthusiastic event volunteers. The organisers are looking for people for a variety of roles who are willing to give up their time either on Saturday 30th June or Sunday 1st July, the date of the event itself. The organisers will supply food & drink to all helpers plus an event volunteer t-shirt and pay each person for their time. If you are available to volunteer please let me know glyn@surreyleague.co.uk by Monday June 25th at the latest.

20 people to assist with Baggage transfer at Greenwich Park between 05:00 - 08:00 Sun July 1st
Role here is 4 people per baggage lorry, two have record sheets on which they tick the rider number of the person handing them their tagged bag. The other two assist in this and in passing the bags onto the haulage staff to stack on the vehicles.
24 people to assist with Baggage reclaim at Canterbury between 11:00 - 19:00 Sun July 1st.
Almost the opposite to the above, 4 people per lorry to pass and sort bags out and down to other two to hand back whilst also recording on the same sheet with a cross that the bag has been collected (checking the baggage tag corresponds to number on rider ID card).
8 people for each of the 1st 3 feed stations (Higham, Aylesford & Hadlow College), hours vary according to station but in the range of 05:45 - 13:00. Main roles include supervising the riders helping themselves to the items, keeping them flowing through, keeping the jerry cans stocked with water and electrolyte, keeping litter within the bins. We also need 1 person per station to act as the station manager. This person will direct the volunteers but also needed sooner to receive the supplies from the logistics company, toilet company & bowser plus set-up the tables and then the opposite at the close of the station.
Shame on you Mr Green
