I'm working all but the 28th, and even then it's a morning shift, so may not make it to racing.

BTW, who is organising the rolls, onions, sausages, vegy burgers etc?

Kevin Llewellyn is. You'll be his off-sider.

Well I don't know if Kevin is full-bottle on the vege burgers actually so I'll sort them.

The Veloflex Madison Challenge



• The Madison Challenge will run separate to the x-mas Carnival Points Series.
• Each individual rider will carry (handicap) start points
• Each rider will score their teams combined start points + points won in the race (1st =5pts 2nd = 3pts 3rd = 2pts and 4th = 1pt )
• Teams that loose a lap will be deducted 5 points
• The winner of the Challenge is the rider who accumulates the most points over all Madisons

It's Ted's b'day, so I can't help. But I'll swing past and drop the lolly bags down to the canteen while the juniors are on.

Michele and I are there from 3. Looking forward to a great day at the track.

I'm available to help with whatever needs to be done.

Excellent - thanks! I still need a few extra volunteers as well.

See the bold items below, copy the list and add your name. Worried that you won't know what to do or how to do the job? Don't. There will be instructions for all of the jobs.

Music & PA - Karzie

Juniors
- Commissaire - Simon L?

I'll help for juniors wherever (hopefully avoiding BBQ!), and seniors, although I'm racing too (at least a very loose interpretation of racing).

OK. I'll be there at 3pm for the juniors. I can help with the canteen during the seniors carnival. Btw: what does a marshall do? I've already disqualified myself as a lap counter given my previous form and recent head injury

I will be there and assist

Last year a few people had trouble with GPS's. So address is: Bayview Ave, Tempe 2044 (nearest landmark is Tempe Train station)
However GPS's have hassles with the suburb, so try Earlwood for most from memory. But people may also need to try, Tempe, Turrella or wolli Creek and then it should come up. Or better still use a map.

As discussed, I'll gladly come along from 6 and responsibly dispense refreshments.... Nick

Google Maps link to the velodrome >> http://goo.gl/maps/V1Fda

Google says Bayview Avenue, Earlwood

Terrific day and night thanks to Dulwich Hill and Crafty.

What a great Carnival Tempe put on tonight. Great work from the volunteers and Eleri for organising at short notice - You can't beat Tempe track for a great atmosphere. All the boys did well....but a special mention to all the girls riding the carnival, DHBC seemed to get a place or top 5 in most races. Zansi is one watch - and she raced really well all night. She always positioned her self well, and if she gets a break on you - LOOK OUT!! Good luck for points to those doing all 5 carnivals. How exciting was that Madison too - well done Chubsy and Tom!

Great carnival.

I think I left without my white cap and ray ban sunglasses. Did anyone pick them up?

Raybans were put inside the canteen .. I guess if you go to track next week they'll still be there. No sign of cap.

Yes, Adam and I spotted a cap. I believe that should also be inside the canteen.

Hey everyone,

Here's a couple of pics from last night.

Was a great carnival and everything ran fantastically from a racers POV. Thank you to all the volunteers that gave up their time and to the organising team.

So many highlights of that carnival - it was just great. And nicely capped off by a win in the Madison from Alex and Tom who seemed to come from last to first in the send half of the race. Really well ridden and a comfortable win in the end. We were all screaming ourselves hoarse up in the stands!

But back to the beginning, all the juniors turned up in numbers, raced their little legs off and with great spirit and clubmanship. Great to see the future of the club growing before our very eyes.

My thanks also to everyone who lent a hand to get it organised and do the hard yards and to our beverage sponsor who helped it all along towards the end of the night. Great work DHBC!!
