I wanted to say a heartfelt thank-you to all the dedicated parents who gave their time this week-end and volunteered at the Barracuda Dental Moose Meet.  The meet was a success and could not have been done without each and everyone one of you.  Give yourselves a round of applause and a big pat on the back.  You all were amazing and your children appreciate all you do for them.  You put the smile on their faces. I hope you all had as much fun as your children.  I enjoyed meeting everyone and look forward seeing you at the next time trial and future swim meets.  Please check the blog and Barracuda bulletin board for upcoming courses, i.e. timing, stroke and turn or electronics'.  Get involved and get those deck cards filled out!!!!!.  If you have any questions, concerns, feedback, please let me know.  I appreciated your comments.

We are looking for a person that is interested in learning about the technical side of the swim club.  This can include maintenance of the website and helping out with the electronics at swim meets.  Now you don’t need to have a technical background or know programing language.  Just a willingness to learn.  If you can use a mouse and have some experience with a word processor like MS word, you can work the software we use for the website or swim meets.

 

So I would love to talk to you about what is involved in helping with the technical side of the club.  Give me a shout or see me at the swim meet this weekend.

There is a cut-off date of April 10th to sign up, after this date the swimmer will be scratched from the meet.

The meet is as much fun for the parent, as it is for their swimmer.  As a volunteer, you  have the best seat in the house ,you are well fed and make new friendships and acquaintances.

465 [PGBSC Blog] PLEASE READ - Medical Northern Sprint Meet - Nov 16-18, 2012

Hello,

 As many of you are aware our Moose Meet is fast approaching!  The dates of the Meet are April, 12-14th.  In order for this meet to be successful we require many volunteers.  It takes about 75 people each day of the meet.  We need people in the following areas:

1.     Timers – this is where we need the most people and if you have never done this before you will be matched up with someone who is experienced in timing.  You will be shown how to run the plunger which is the backup time for the electronic pads that are at the end of each lane.- 40+ timers needed

2.     Referees, Starters, Stroke and Turn Judges, Chief Timer,– training is required for these positions – if you are trained for these positions please indicate this when you sign up. – 16-20 people needed

3.     Electronics – You spend your time up in the electronics room or on the scaffolding in the shallow end.  The times from the electronic pads are transferred into a computer and you make sure the times come in correctly - 6 people needed

4.     Meet Manager Program –  once the times from the electronics are verified it is then transferred to the meet manager program.  From here the times are confirmed and eventually sent out to where it can be viewed online.  - 2 people needed and is covered. 

5.     Food:  every volunteer is supplied with food during the meet.  We need about 6 people per day to help out with this.  We need 2-3  more people to help out with this.

If you have not been able to write your name on the volunteer list posted on the Barracuda's bulletin board at the pool; there is still time!  When you do sign up please mark beside your name what you would like to do.  For example, if you would like to learn the electronics please write "electronics" somewhere beside your name.

I understand that we all have busy lives and may not be able to volunteer during that weekend.  If this is the case, please contact Georgie Gerula (officials@pgbsc.org ) and Jason (jason@pgbsc.org ) or Jerzy (jerzy@pgbsc.org ).  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!   If this is not communicated properly your child(ren) may be pulled from the meet.  We have 108 families in the club this year so we should easily be able to fill the spots needed in order to run the meet.  Every year it is hard to get volunteers for our meets or even time trials, so a few years ago it was made a requirement to volunteer; otherwise your child would be removed from the meet or time trial.   We don't want this to happen so please make sure Georgie, Jason or Jerzy are made aware if you are unable to volunteer.  You can also have someone come in your place if that is an option.   

Thank you for your time,

 Georgie Gerula

Director of Officials
