Folks,

Below is my first go at helper assignments. I've tried to follow requests where they've been expressed. Everybody who wants one should be able to have a run, either early or late.
We are very tight on numbers, so there's very little wriggle-room - if you want to change what you're down for, please can you let me know, asap, preferably having arranged someone to swap with ?  Full detail about each role will emerge over the next few days. Where I've not specified shifts, please sort out between yourselves.

Safety Notes: 
> the only mobile network that works reliably is Vodaphone; thanks to Jane McCann and the Gregorys, we will have a phone at Silver Point, Place Fell Finish and Assembly on Saturday, and Main Start, Finish and Assembly on Sunday.
> there's first aid kit at the high Finishes and at Assembly
> we're pioneering MDOC use of a SportIdent facility where the Start and Finsh boxes send text messages to Download for each dib. This should mean we can be much smarter about the question of everybody-back-yet ? and get pulling controls in quicker than normal.
