RESULTS 2008/9
I am sure everyone welcomes the availability of results on the day but this requires the information to be input onto the computers and there is a need for assistance in this connection.
I should therefore be grateful if all clubs would ask their membership and friends to consider making themselves available to help. All that is needed is someone with knowledge of a computer keyboard.
It is not necessary for the person to be available for every fixture or even the whole of one meeting, the important thing is for the computer input to be continuous if the results are to be available on race day.
Please let me know if you have someone who can help.
In addition to the above it is requested that all clubs who are not hosting a fixture provide one person to assist with the organisation on the day. This person should report to the registration desk at least 30 minutes before the first race. This season this request is being done on a trust basis but if clubs do not provide help in future years, penalty arrangements are likely to be introduced. I hope that the friendly nature of the League will hopefully make this unnecessary.
This season the results will again be sent out by e-mail and will only be forwarded by post to those clubs that are UNABLE to receive results via computer.
Results will also be available from the Gloucestershire AAA web site I should be grateful if ALL clubs that are still receiving results in paper form would provide me with an e-mail address if at all possible. Results will continue to be sent by post where necessary but it is likely that the time scale for their receipt will become greater as this method becomes more of an exception.
Thank you,
Robin McDonald
