Volunteers Required for Downhill Event
This is the call out to you – our riding community to get behind GMTB and help support Round 4 of the KONA Victorian Downhill Mountain Series at Mount Taylor, Bairnsdale next weekend. We are after riders, friends, family, spectators and volunteers to get up to Mount Taylor on Saturday the 27th and Sunday the 28th of March. Show your support by having a go in the downhill racing event which has a category to suit every skill level or get on the sideline and cheer the riders down the hill giving them encouragement with whatever you can find that will make a loud noise (bells, whistles, megaphones and truck horns are all advisable!).
There is a large prize pool up for grabs in every class ($2900 cash and $3500 worth of prizes) and you will get to see the best downhill riders in the state, and some interstate and international riders take on the mythical Mount Taylor! We are after a committed group of Volunteers to help GMTB run the event, and are desperately seeking 20 volunteers that can help out on Saturday between 8am and 5pm and on Sunday between 7am and 6pm. We have a variety of jobs for the volunteers including, driving shuttle vehicles, course marshalling with radio checkpoints along the downhill course, number plate spotting for timing, a lolly pop crossing person for shuttle vehicles, and a bike rider herder. All volunteers will be provided with a free lunch, muffins, drinks and snacks, a Hi-Vis fluro orange GMTB Event Crew vest and a whistle during the event. If you are interested in helping out on the weekend please shout out, register ar events@gippslandmtb.com.au , drop a line in the forums or contact GMTB President and Mt Taylor Race Director – Nick King.
Check out www.vicdhseries.com for more information about the event and GMTB member Michael ‘Mega’ Watt on his journey down the mountain here http://vimeo.com/10223384 . After this major event GMTB will be able to purchase 2 brand new mountain bike trailers for use at our events! Help us to progress your club! Read on to see the volunteer positions that need filling.
