Track Volunteers
The following volunteer positions must be filled before racing can commence. Here is a brief description of the duties of each position.
Commentator
The commentator stands in the “Tower of Keable” and calls the racing action on the track. This is not the easiest of jobs but anyone is welcome to “have a go” and be assured that any person who tries is infinitely better than anyone who doesn’t try.
Flags
The primary role of the flag person is to ensure the safety of riders and spectators during the event and to detect interference and foul riding and report any infractions to the Race Commissaire. The flags have the following meanings:
Lights
Duties similar to the flag person described above. Controls the lights via a remote switch and switches between red and green.
Staging Officials
Direct all competitors to their respective position on the starting line.
Starter
This is the official who starts all races. Starting hill officials have the authority to refuse a start to any rider whose safety equipment does not conform to the BMX Rules.
Lines
These officials determine the finishing order of a race. The official finish positions of each race is determined by a simple majority of the finish line officials. On club racing nights at Cairns we need a minimum of three people at a time.
The Canteen
The Canteen is a major fundraiser for the club and needs everyones help. The coordinators are stepping down this year after 4 years and organising FNQ, Qld and Australian events, they need a rest and would like to try something else around the track.
Please see Sharon Geck (in the Canteen) if you would like to know more about being the Organiser, buying the food, arranging a roster. This could be done by three different people – you know many hands make light work.
We have 2 months left after the State Championships so this would be a good time to be shown what is required to be able to start the new year organised. PLEASE HELP.”
Please see Sharon Geck (in the Canteen) about where you can help.
