Another Road Closure...

We have just completed a second road closure within a week to allow the town bridge lock up to have its official opening after renovation works. The volunteers manned the road closures and kept traffic off the bridge while the ribbon was cut before making sure the public were off the bridge and then allowing traffic to move again. A big thank you to PC Annetts and the team at BoA Police for providing a reassuring presence and offering some wise words of advice. We're starting to build some valuable experience now.

The Morning After...

An Offical Thank you...

Charlotte Forester from the Cycling Festival Organising Committee has passed on her thanks to all the volunteers who helped with crowd marshalling at the event. I think she'd like us back next year if that's ok with everyone!

Kind Regards

A Hard but Rewarding Day....

Our first major test for the volunteers was passed successfully today with the completion of Crowd Marshalling for the Cycle Hill Time Trial. Well done to the volunteers who came out and stood for nearly 5 hours in sweltering conditions (Those waterproof Hi Viz Trousers are a bit of an oven!)
