Stafford RC 2015 club events have got off to a brilliant start with 325 rider participating in our first 10 events.
It’s an incredible start to the season with high numbers of Stafford RC riding in these events. Thanks to the 35 Stafford RC members and friends without whom we could not have them.
In the next month we have 2 more key events coming up which we are still short of volunteers : o
A week on Sunday (24 May) we host the BDCA 23 mile TT. It starts at 11am (HQ Weston village hall) and with a field of 39 riders setting off at 1 min intervals the marshals will only be out on the course for about 45 min.
Then on Sunday 14 June we are hosting the Charlie Betteley Memorial Road Race in memory of our dear friend and club member Charlie Betteley who was crowned world road race championship and national grass track championship in his fabulous career. Thanks to the 16 volunteers we have already but we still need at least another 10 helpers for this event. On the day we will need 7 cars to act as escort vehicles so if you want to get a close up view of the race action please mention you are happy to drive when you confirm your availability ( petrol expenses paid).
So can all of our SRC club members who have not yet made themselves available this year to help out at one of our club events please take a look at our volunteers/events list and drop Robert an email at vice chairman@staffordrc.org who manages the volunteers list so he can add your details.

With Stafford RC membership now at over 180 fully paid up members we should not be struggling to host these events, but yet we still seem to be?
So please get in touch regarding these 2 key events and the list of other dates where volunteers are still needed and I am sure you will enjoy helping putting something back into the club we are all proud to be a part of.
Thanks in advance for your support
