Volunteer Awareness Week from 20 – 26 June.

Volunteers make a huge contribution to sport in Hawke’s Bay in many different ways. As coaches, referees, administrators, transporters, event assistants… they allow sport to happen! Now it’s time to say THANKS
This week is an opportunity for you to recognise and acknowledge the volunteers who ensure our Saturday racing happens. That’s mum who takes you to the race and waits patiently (for hours) for you to finish; dad who cleans your bike when you are too tired; the marshals in the kitchen who keep the hot water coming; the committee who stock the trailer with chocky biscuits as well as run the races; all those who contribute to our magazine, our eNews and our race reports; the marshals who stand on the corners just for you in the rain; your brother who helped you changed that flat tyre; your partner who understands that on Saturday nights it is always their turn to sort dinner … make sure you say thanks… and not just this week, keep saying thanks for the rest of the year.
