We are getting closer to the Road Season , a little over a month away and for it to go ahead and be safe for all concerned we need to have Traffic controllers at each and every road meeting. A minimum of one for the Peats Ridge turn around and really a second is essential to assist in a safe environment when turning at the Calga/ Jones rd end.
The club has only a few certified members this year which would mean they would have to do around six to eight turns each for the season.
This is too much to expect of your clubmates , after all they want to race too.
Wal Shelley , our club secretary is taking names for a one evening training course which is FREE to club members and would enable us to all share in the responsibilities of running the season. You don't have to have a towball or even a car to be able to help out with Traffic Control, as the Calga end would mean you only have to get there by riding or bludging a lift . To assist at the Peats Ridge end , yes a vehicle preferably with a tow bar would be of a help, but if we can get the trailer there with the signs we can work something out.
Wal has had very little response to previous requests asking for names of interested parties and yet I have seen at least four members offer their services and seeking a TC licence.
So come on guys , get behind your club and put your name in , the more we have the less times you are needed to help. IF we don't get the names then the road season may have to be shortened or worse.
Contact Wally on
shelley9@comcen.com.auAlso perhaps you know a person , maybe a friend, retiree or a student who has a car licence and a car with a towbar or access to one who would be interested in earning some dollars for easy work on a Sat. Let them know as if we can find a couple of people to do this job then club members would not be called upon at all except in an emergency. The club would pay for their TC licence and a wage for the afternoon.
Again email Wally if you know of someone .
