Parkanaur Organising Team Opportunities
Posted on: Sunday 22nd January 2012 by Alan Elwood
Planning for the next event at Parkanaur on the 11 Feb is well underway. This event includes Spring Cup 2 and the AGM. The sequence includes a day event, the AGM and finishes with a Night Event. The core organising team is in place but given the added extras of the AGM and Night Event some additional support on the day is required to make things run smoothly and to enable everyone to get a run. If you can help at any point please email me at alanelwood@btinternet.com. Thanks in advance for your support.
