Help us
As a club, we rely on lots of volunteers to help put on a wide range of races and events throughout the year. We encourage our members to help out with at least a couple of events each year – it's a great way to meet the club, and put something back into the sport. Your help will only be needed for a few hours each year, and helps us to keep running lots of races and events.
For more information about volunteering and helping the club, and to offer your help at future events, please
