Author Topic: Control Volunteers - a list? (Read 10090 times)

Jaded · « **on:** 16 March, 2011, 11:41:10 am »

I did a Control for a 400 and a 100 last year, after a plea from a couple of organisers. Occasionally I do hear on rides that there has been a difficulty in getting Controllers. So I wondered if it might be helpful to have a list of people who might be able to help out for controls? I know lots of YACFers helped out with LEL and also have dome at many other events.

Along the lines of: Location - Distance prepared to travel to a control

I'll start it off

S26 (the crap side of Sheffield) 20-40 miles depending on when you want the control manned. Contact by PM initially.

If this happens, I'm going to make my own rubber stamp and am so sad and geeky that I'm quite excited by the prospect.

Carmathenshire/Ceredigion.

A lot depends on the Distance_from_home:Start_time ratio.

You'd get a unique potato print or a nice colourful ride related sticker if I am controlling.

I'm also prepared to be an info control. "What was the four letter word shouted at you from the pub by the junction?"

I have stamps and a cake-making habit.

Suffolk. Up to 100k from here, may have (mini)helpers in tandem.

Abergavenny - 30-ish miles. Contact by PM initially.

Also willing to make cake, though I can't guarantee it'll look tempting after 30+ miles in my panniers

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #16 on:** 16 March, 2011, 06:59:35 pm »

I could, within 30-ish miles of York, so long as you give me clear instructions in words of few syllables what I actually had to do.

And hmmm..... cake. What would the chances be, do you reckon?
