New Session Structure – Sign-On Times & Early Session
The new session timetable, available here to view if you have not seen it already will become operational on Saturday 3rd January 2015 (please let us know if this is the case as it was communicated to you via the previous newsletter and with your renewals paperwork).
Specific and important points to heed are:
Sign-on is now in 2 blocks:
- Early performance session sign-on is from 8am – 8.25am. Be warmed up and ready to start at 8.30am sharp. You only sign on once so make sure you bring your payment.
- Normal sign-on is from 8.45am – 9.30am. This is for anyone not attending the early session.
Early Performance session attendance for U14 and U16 age categories:
- To clarify, if you are over 12 on the 31st Dec 2014 you will be an A/B category rider on 1st Jan 2015, and are therefore included.
- To clarify further, if you are aged 12 or over AND in the Gold squad, you are also invited to attend these sessions.
- If you fall into the U12 category (and will not be 12 on the 1st Jan 2015), you may not yet automatically ride in these sessions.
- However, as previously stated, at the discretion of the coaching team, other suitable younger riders from the Gold group may be invited to the early sessions.
We appreciate this change may be disappointing to some, however we ask for your patience while we test this scheme out. If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to email us or talk to Dave George directly.
