All you need to know about Ironman and Alex Rotary

There is only 2 weeks before the Ironman 70.3 Event.

 

Here's a note from Colleen, our organiser for the Sunshine Coast Ironman Event..

 

We are managing the Gear Tent once again and may have some jobs for the slow times for some at the Finish Line handing out medals and towels. The Gear Tent will be situated on the car park opposite the Mooloolaba Surf Club. I believe we have cover this year.

 

So hopefully no wet bags and protection from the sun. The shirts and hats and snack packs can be collected at the Gear Tent for you on arrival. All volunteers must wear the T-shirt and hat as this is advertising for the sponsors and we must be recognised as volunteers. Also, you must wear filled in shoes…this is a WH& S requirement. Please bring your own water bottle. This can be refilled at any time at the Volunteer Tent.

 

Also, make sure you apply sunscreen or bring your own for your own protection. Wendy, John and myself will be team leaders for the rostered periods on.

 

Team Leaders will be those responsible for the groups rostered at that time and any tricky questions asked from the competitors or others for them to address and contact appropriate event Volunteer Co-Ordinator for further direction. If the Drug Screening Association call requesting to open competitors bags, the Team Leader must contact a staff member from the Ironman Event. I will have a list of phone numbers available on the day. Team Members please bring your phone.

 

Volunteers are not to leave their position unless first speaking with their Team Leader to ensure that there is adequate coverage at all times. This is just courtesy …Thanks. I am not sure whether there is a shuttle bus running this year.

 

I believe Carmel had a situation last year where no bus turned up. Perhaps don’t rely on the bus if you can. I will endeavour to have more information about that this week. 
 
I have attached the roster for everyone to see what time they need to be at the Gear Tent to start their shift. I have also attached the T&C’s for all volunteers to read prior to volunteering your time. If you have any questions prior to the event or during the event, please feel free to contact me anytime.

Many thanks to the Grammar students who have volunteered to help us out again this year. We do hope you enjoy your experience.Colleen has had a good response from her call for volunteers, and a great response from Ben Princehorn at Grammar, so it looks like we're OK for managing the gear tent and perhaps helping out in some other areas too.

 

Here's the Roster for the day.
