Thankyou very much for the responses received so far.

 I know the deadline has not been reached yet, however this is a reminder to those that haven't replied.

I am still low on numbers and volunteering your help will be much appreciated.

I am away until next Wednesday and will look forward to reading your responses then.

As mentioned in the previous mailing I will try to support you if you wish to have a run. We do hope to field a small number of teams

many thanks

At this years JK, MDOC have responsibility for organising and delivering the Relay (Day 4).

In order to deliver a successful event,  I will require the help of all MDOC JK participants. i.e. my assumption is that all who are going to the Lakes this Easter are in principle willing to help.

Please let me know by 14th February :-
(1) if you WILL/WILL NOT be available on Monday 6th April
(2) if you have a strong preference for a particular role

When I receive your responses I will allocate people to roles and provide more information and detail regarding the requirements of each role.

Whilst this involvement with a major competition is an honour for our club, it does unfortunately come with a significant downside for individual helpers, in that due to the nature of the Relay format, it will be difficult/impossible to give the majority a competitive run. 

I am discussing this issue with the controller and am hopeful that we will be able to support runs for all members, (i.e. mini mass start(s)) on the basis that these will be classed as non-competitive. I am also hopeful that I can accommodate a number of teams (to be determined) who will be able to be classed as competitive running according to the published timetable.

I realise this is quite a commitment and is not an ideal situation, since we all want to run competitively at Championship events, however I hope you will understand that this type of involvement is infrequent and every event of this nature requires people to give their time to support and provide events for others.

many thanks
