I'm sure JC is in a much better position than me to comment on this but I'm pretty sure there is communication on this through clubs already, and it was made very clear when the league season started that volunteers would be needed, to the extent that the top riders from last year's league were required to put in at least one week to help with judging or not be able to claim any prizes this year.
The problem is that people just aren't willing or able up. Those who race don't want to have to quit racing and those club riders who don't race don't seem to be that keen on giving up their own time to do what is a pretty thankless task. This is a problem across cycling in general not just at HHV.
You seem quite keen to give the existing volunteers a lot of stick on here when they're giving up a lot of their own free time keep the track running. Have you offered your services yet? That certainly would be a lot more productive than sniping from the sidelines.
