Helmdon Hurler – 2011 Race
The 2011 Helmdon Hurler will take place on August bank holiday Monday (29th) starting and finishing at the village pub. The Hurler committee are coming to you, and your group members, cap in hand asking for support – this can be in two main forms
1) Spread the word…….
a. Everyone knows at least one person who likes to run. We would be very grateful if you could email the attached flyer, and links below to all and sundry in your village contacts. The event will be a success if people turn up to run AND if villagers turn up for the BBQ. Your help in spreading the ‘Hurler word’ will be appreciated. If you can sign up 1 person 100% of the registration fee will be fed back into the village, if they and their family come and have a burger or two – again its all ‘grist to the mill’ and money in the pot.
REMEMBER – ALL PROFITS FROM THE RUN AND BBQ WILL BE DONATED TO VARIOUS VILLAGE GROUPS (maybe yours?)
Online entry – no need to send a cheque in the post

2) We need help on Race day
a. More hands make light work. Learning from last year’s event we were lacking in help and support on race day mainly in the form of bodies. We held it together (only just) but we would like the 2011 race day to run like clockwork and stress free. Therefore if you (or any of your members) can spare a couple of hours on bank holiday to help out marshalling / car parking / helping out with the registration / administration on race day it will be appreciated. Please can you email or call Bob Lenton if you can offer help on the race day ([email address removed] tel:[phone number removed])
In summary any help will be welcomed by……
· Participating in the run itself – young / old / fit / not so fit all welcome (youngest signed up so far is 5 years old)
· Encouraging people you know to sign up
· Encouraging villagers to join in the BBQ
· Helping out on the day – give Bob a call / send him an email putting forward your name
