Notes for Race Officers
Please bring least a litre of milk to facilitate the tea and coffee making for the Sunday morning series racing. You can reclaim the cost from the club treasurer.
Ensure you photograph or scan the Race Officer Sheets and Competitor Sign On Sheets and email them to results@broadwatersc.org.uk so we can publish results quickly.
Please make sure you are clear about how NOT to create a hook finish as these create confusion. See the Annex 3 - Handicap Race Finish Line below.
If there are only a few sign on sheets left please tell someone on the Race Committee.
