Volunteers for Orwell Women's Beginner League

A message on behalf of Orla and Mags who are heading up the women's Spring league for 2014! There'll be more details of the league in the coming weeks, but for now, they're looking for volunteers for the following Tuesday nights:

Apr 8 - TT Batterstown (TBC) - 7 marshalls needed
Apr 15 - Corkagh Park Crit
Apr 22 - Corkagh Park Crit
Apr 29 - Corkagh Park Crit
May 6 - Brittas Road Race - ~20 marshalls
May 15 - Batterstown TT - 7 again

It'd be nice to have a couple of marshalls at Corkagh Park, but the other events - especially the road race - are of a higher priority in this aspect.

If you can come along and help out for a night, or two, or six, please let Orla or Mags know either here, or at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. It'd be much appreciated by them, the racers, and by the club - a big turnout helps ensure a safe race!

Thanks!

This has now been launched, see the front page, and also womenscycling.ie

I'm sure Orla would appreciate if the offers of volunteers kept coming in the meantime!

There's already 20 women signed up for this, with still a week to go, which is a great indication of numbers!

There's nearly got enough hands on deck for the TT, but if anyone else can come along for the evening, I know it would be appreciated.

And we'll need plenty of people to help out on the night of the road race, so if you're free May 6th, please put it in your diary and send a mail to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Thanks Monica!

I was planning on bumping this thread this week. Next week is the road race folks, 6th May, and we'll need as many marshals as possible! If you give Orla an email at

, she'll add you to the list.

If you've ever raced at Brittas, you'll appreciate that every junction needs a couple of marshals, so please consider committing just one evening to help the club put on a safe evening of women's racing.
