10. AOB
Steve Hand’s League Co-ordinator report:
A very busy season this time around, because of:
1. The full introduction of the Electronic scoring system.
2. 8 races in 8 weeks at the start of the season.
3. Record number of entries in all races.
I found the time it was taking too much to cope with and recruited Ricky Wildman (Nottingham Clarion) to assist in typing up the results and formulating the league tables for the U12’s and Youths.
This is how it works in theory:
a. I receive the results from Russell after the race, and do a check to see if there are any obvious errors.
b. These are forwarded to Ricky, Andy & Sarah and Gav.
c. By Tuesday, hopefully all the queries from the races have been received; I work through these, and note any alterations.
d. These updated results are forwarded on.
e. Andy & Sarah check these against the electronic results, and hopefully by this stage the two match.
f. Hopefully by Thursday, Ricky & myself have typed up the non senior results, and league tables, and Gav has usually completed the seniors league table by Friday lunchtime.
g. Everything is posted on the www site, and all the riders are happy.
There has been a query as to the amount of time that is being spent on these results weekly. This all depends on the number of queries and alterations, but in general, if there are only a ‘normal’ number of queries, seems to be around:
Steve 4 hours.
Ricky 2 hours
Andy & Sarah 2 hours
Gav 2 hours
Special thanks must go to the judging team who produce a fantastic set of (usually) accurate results on the day of the race.
Myself and Graham were told by another league that there was no chance whatever of producing full results on the day (because they had up to 130 riders!), and hoped to provide around the top 10 on the day, with full results by the Thursday.
JG thanked the lap recordingprocessing team for their efforts.
Mick Gascoigne asked for his concerns regarding pit use and safety. Too many dumped bikes and wheels, etc.
ACTION: To be raised at the organisers meeting – zone pits have “manned” and “unmanned” areas.
Russell Cox reported race statistics and reported missing numbers. League to chase numbers.
ACTION: MG to post “missing” list on website
Alan Maddocks reported that Bolsover’s Steve Crapper has some ideas regarding development of the electronic recording system. Advised to speak with the Naylors.
Also concerns regarding First Aid.
John Holmes reported disqualifying a rider after aggressive behaviour.
MG asked whether the caterers were required for 201213 season – the committee confirmed their satisfaction with Dave and Rachel of Courtyard Catering and invited them for next season.
ACTION: MG to contact Courtyard Catering
Organisers meeting proposed for 27th June 2012 at SRAM HQ.
The League decided that a committee meeting was required before the beginning of the next season.
11. Date of next meeting
