.What: Addiscombe Open 25
Where: G25/53 – this is predominantly on the A24, A2220 and A264 near Horsham with the outermost points of the course being Southwater, Tollgate Hill and Broadfield roundabouts.
When: Sunday 25 April. First rider off at 6.30am, last rider will clear the course 9.30-9.45am but we won’t be done at HQ until around 10.30…at which point we usually go for brunch at a café in Horsham.
It’s a complicated course with lots of roundabouts so needs a lot of marshals and other helpers. As a bare minimum to run a safe event we need:
2 pushers on the start line to hold the riders up enabling them to start clipped in and ready to ride
13 marshals to point which way the riders should go at roundabouts and junctions
3 checkers to keep a record of the order riders as they reach the farthest points of the course – this allows us to deal with any allegations of riders turning too soon or drafting
2 timekeeper helpers to spot and record the riders’ numbers as they come over the finish line and to phone results through to HQ
1-2 results collector/board writer-upper to receive results from finish line and enter onto spreadsheet/write on board for riders to view as they come in for tea after event
2-3 canteen helpers to make tea/coffee for riders, officials, spectators etc
Please let me know if you can help out.
More helpers will be very welcome as I’ll happily place extra marshals on larger roundabouts and other potentially misleading junctions to ensure riders do not go off course and to be a good hi-viz presence to give dozy drivers a clue that something’s going on.
Any questions just shout.
Many thanks

So put me down. Wouldn't mind a results board job.
