Secondary Schools Climbing Cup
Prep: Friday 30th Aug/Sat 31st/Sunday 1st Sep
Comp: Monday 2 Sep/Tuesday 2nd Sep
Volunteer help requested
In early September, BOPSCA will be putting on the Secondary Schools comp in conjunction with CNZ. This has been a long standing event and this year we have done a lot of work to ensure that we will do the work as a club, but we will also benefit financially for that. In essence, everyone is keen to support the growth and participation in the sport but it had become a labour of love and it is nice that things are back on a balanced keel.
So... the club would like to ask for volunteers for many tasks over the few days prior to the event, and also on the days of the event. There is a spreadsheet attached - please will you find a (or some) job/s you can help out with. There needs to be a big push on the Friday prior to the event as the big job is to strip the walls and water blast them, ready for the setters over the weekend. We'll call it a working party!
Please will you review the jobs we need done, and add your name where you can help.
What’s in it for the club?
We will be receiving $5k from CNZ for this work. It's a good boost to the coffers. About half of this will be spent on maintaining the speedwall and keeping it safe, and the rest will contribute to other things. This has included in the past, and might be again…
Crash pads that we will utilise for outdoor bouldering
Subsidising training to get a crew upskilled to support outdoor club activities
Subsidising travel/accomodation for away comps
Providing trophies to schools to celebrate climbing achievements
I'd love your feedback about what you like the sound of, and any other ideas. No decisions have been made, and we'd like to hear your voices. I have added an extra sheet to that spreadsheet - tell us what you want!
