Duty Duty Duty,
 
We have a number of gaps in the duty roster for the remaining races this year. If you still have not put your name down for a duty please get online and fill one of the spots asap. The committee would prefer not to allocate duty’s to people but that time is getting closer if the spots stay un filled.
 
You only have to do one for the whole year and this season there is an amazing prize for best duty person.

bcu Coffs Tri Club Volunteers
 “We would like to thank all those members who put their hands up to volunteer for the bcu Coffs Tri weekend we will be down at the next club race to chase up more helpers please.
 We are after volunteers for the Kids events on Saturday afternoon, the tasks will be marshalling the run & cycle legs, transition, water stop, timing chips collection etc.
 Volunteers are required also for water safety and will require you to be SLS proficient. 
On Sunday if any members that are not participating we can use you for similar tasks.
 Also on Sunday we can use the people participating in the Enticer after they have finished for a few light duties during the run leg of the Olympic please.
 Without the support of the Coffs Triathlon Club Volunteers we would not be able to conduct the event so thank you all very much.
You can also email mick@villagesports.com.au and put your name down for any of the above days.”
