FREE BEER!!!!! All You Have To Do Is Be A Flaggie - Several Events to pick from

[VinceS]

Hmm, wonder if Free Beer is one of those great catchalls??? Unlike the club ride next weekend where we have the same fine offering available the below one you actually have to work for! However I have done flaggie duties a few times myself and it ain't a bad way to spend the time. I also know if you only want to volunteer for the weekend they are not going to turn you down!

Dear fellow enthusiasts

Forget Superbikes, forget MC Grand Prix, forget Moto GP--- April 1,2,3 sees the premier MC event of the year: the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed at Eastern Creek. Practice day is the Friday followed by two days of high profile Post Classic racing.

We need to provide flaggies for all three days. Expect a briefing at 0800 followed by a day on the  circuit wrapping around 4pm. One, two or three days - please let us know what you are able to do.

Ride on!

Edit: next day, another message:

Subject: Still needing Flag Marshalls for Barry Sheene Festival of Speed April 1, 2, 3.

Folks

We are well short of the numbers we need to run a safe and efficient race program at Eastern Creek on April 1, 2 and 3. Please give this your urgent consideration and pass it on to any people or networks you know who might be able to assist.  We would like to confirm our numbers by March 21, two weeks from now.

Again, thanks for your involvement... no flaggies, no racing!!

All the best.

(PS then there is Wakefield again... Sunday May 14!)

From the Motor Cycle Council of NSW mailing list:

Dear MCC NSW Members

The Post Classic Racing Association (PCRA) www.postclassicracing.com.au races bikes of all sizes built between 1963 and 1995. We use Eastern Creek and Wakefield Park (Goulburn) and Broadford (Vic.) tracks for 5 meetings a year, including the Barry Sheene Festival of Speed early April.

At every meeting, we have Flag Marshalls on each corner, in the pit and on the recovery team. They play a vital role in keeping the racing safe and on time. We are looking to build the team of Flaggies and we are putting the word around  looking for interested people. Its an important volunteer role, and a lot of fun if you want to be close to the racing action.

We're looking for people who  can be our Flaggies for any or all of the following:


*   Wakefield Park:  February 5; August 27
*   Eastern Creek: April 1, 2 and 3;  May 14; September 17,18.
*   Broadford Vic. October 1,2.

We provide food and drink, accommodation if needed. We may be able to provide transport if needed.


Here's the offer: first meeting!!

Saturday Feb 5 you drive or ride to Wakefield Park Raceway, just south of Goulburn. We put you up in cottages overlooking the track. Sunday 0800 you are fully briefed and posted, you are a Flag Marshall right on the track. We provide lunch and drinks. By 4pm or so the racing is finished, there is time for a beer over presentation of trophies, you get a bit thank you and off home into the sunset!

In short, we are in need of Flaggies for Wakefield on February 6.  Any individuals or clubs that can assist we'd be mighty pleased!

We offer:

    Unbeatable race viewing!
    Free accommodation on track the night before!
    Transport if needed!
    Food and drink!
    Sunny location!
    Congratulatory drinks at the end of the day!
    Warm companionship!
    Membership of an elite group of race administrators!
    Satisfaction of a job well done!
    Appreciation of every racer on the day!

Cheers for 2011
