Road Safety---Bar End Road Crossing---Volunteers Required!!

The Committee has agreed to implement a road safety scheme to offer assistance to athletes crossing the busy Bar End Road during training sessions. The scheme will run for a trial period.
n
nWhilst it would be nice to have better road crossing facilities on Bar End Road (eg a pelican crossing, zebra crossing or patrol crossing), our ongoing negotiations with the highway authority are unlikely to result in any such facilities in the near future.
n
n
n
nWe shall therefore set up a rota of volunteers to assist athletes crossing Bar End Road where appropriate. The aim is to have two assistants per session wearing high viz jackets (to be provided by WADAC) available during our busy training sessions. These volunteers will only assist with safe crossing of the road and will not be able to direct or stop traffic (in accordance with highway authority guidelines).
n
n
n
nI am looking for volunteers to join the rota for the following sessions:
n
n
n
nSession 1 Tuesday evenings 5:15pm for 20 minutes
n
n
n
nSession 2 Tuesday evenings 6:15pm for 25 minutes and 7:30pm to 8:00pm
n
n
n
nSession 3 Wednesday evenings 6:15pm for 20 minutes and 7:50pm to 8:10pm
n
n
n
nSession 4 Thursday evenings 5:15pm for 20 minutes
n
n
n
nSession 5 Thursday evenings 6:15pm for 25 minutes and 7:30pm to 8:00pm
n
n
n
nThe more volunteers we have, the less commitment per person will be required.
n
n
n
nThe intention is to have volunteers helping athletes cross the road at the beginning and end of the training sessions so there is no requirement to hang around once athletes are with their coaches.
n
n
n
nOnce I have a list of volunteers, I shall do a brief to volunteers at the club house on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (details to follow).
n
n
n
nIf you wish to volunteer for this important task, please email the Club Chairman, Pete Spelman via chairman@wadac.org.uk indicating the session (s) you are available.
n
n
n
nThank you in anticipation.
