📣LVO 2023 Events Roster

The LVO Committee have been busy setting up an exciting calendar of events for the coming year.

Below is the list of the events planned for 2023.

Of course, none of it can happen without the support from you, LVO club members, cheerfully volunteering to fill the vital roles. 😊

A few positions have been filled already but as you can see there is still plenty of choice where you can put your name down. Have a look and plan in where you can help out – You can either insert your name on this file LVO 2023 fixtures and volunteer list.docx – Microsoft Word Online (live.com) on the LVO OneDrive or email Mark Earnshaw at fixtures@lvo.org.uk.

🙏Please don’t be shy, we really need your help – Filling positions in the events at the start of the year would be especially fantastic (please note, for weekend events, key officials can choose if Saturday or Sunday suits them best).

Some of you may not feel up to taking on a key official role just yet, this is totally fine, there are loads of ‘Other’ (smaller but important) opportunities for you to join a volunteering team in – Roles such as a Starter, Newcomer Welcome or Control collector. 🙂

Over the winter months we are going to run club training for new/novice planners, organisers, controllers and the use of the SITiming/computers. It will be a great opportunity to get together and learn from the pros whilst having a bit of craic together. Look out for more info to follow! 👀

👏Thanks to all those who have volunteered over the last 12 months, it has been an outstanding year for events. I have especially loved seeing new people really getting involved as club members in supporting our sporting calendar.
