Want to take part in the Polo cat so I wont be able to be at checkpoints but I'm happy to help get people onto the roller racing rollers, if you can think of anything else I can do just give me a nudge and I'll be happy to help!

Awesomes

Cheers Salmon!

Depends on what Ben needs, but you might not be able to do this as well as being on the entrance at the start and helping people on/off bikes too...

Anyone else up for stepping in to this role as backup if Salmon is too busy?

I've helped him set up before but would like to have a go, I reckon I could do both.

Chris it's called a POLOcat for a reason.

;)

Mint :-P

Also, picture on the fb event, should we be using the logo?

I will change it once its ready, Ste can you send me it please?

The FB event is just to find volunteers, its not supposed to be like the event invite that will come later.

I'll send it over for you now, it's a PDF but I'll convert it to a jpeg.

& Finally if you can add your name to the list below if you would like Vegan curry/rice or Vegan chilli/rice (£4 a head@ Thirsty Scholar 5ish). I need to let the chef know and it needs to be payed for in advance.

1. Emma (vegan curry/rice)
   

Chan, if you don't want to announce the prizes AND hand out the prizes, I can definitely lend a hand there

I'm happy to do the things I'm in bold for, one of the reasons I didn't put my name down was that I want to take part in both the alley cat and rollers. I reckon I can help and take part though, especially as there's 2 people for each thing and I'm not gonna win/finish anything.

Not bolded, Score!

I can do the Polo photography

I'll split this off as if I copy the whole list it'll lose the bold.
