Note re Stewarding (submitted by Paul Deans)
I am reminded of a colleague of mine from Southern Australia who encountered a similar difficulty and responded  with the following comment(s).
You have three options:-
* You can hope that someone else will do it (after all you joined to race not to help) and the problem will go away.
* You can leave and ride the coast road or better still try anothersport.
* You can offer to become a Marshall/Stewart and give added value to the club and your sport.

2008 Fees : - €3 Entry Fee / €5 for Visitors / U/age : Free
Special Rate for Club Members - €30 to cover all races
***Cycling Ireland Club Licence is minimum requirement for all participants***
(or an IVCA Racing Licence)

Stewarding for 2008 :It is hoped that each member will be needed for 2 events.
This would be 2 league events or a league event and one of the Swords Open races.
This is the very least each member should be doing for their club.
