[NCNCA] New Officials Clinic

[Casey Kerrigan]

Just wanted to let everyone know that we will have a clinic for new  
race officials ( ie people who want to become a race official) on the  
weekend of Jan 20/21. The clinic will be in the Fremont area.  
Saturday will be a day of class work and lectures. Sunday will be on  
the job training (in conjunction with the Early Bird event) and  
taking the test.  All clubs that are promoting a race are encouraged  
to have at least one licensed official. If a club can provide one or  
two of your own officials then your officials bill will be reduced.  
Since we currently have 20 days where we have 2 or more races  
scheduled for the same day increasing out pool of working officials  
is even more important this coming year.

Anyone who is interested in taking the new officials clinic should  
contact Robert Leibold at velopro1 at sonnet.com for more information  
about the meeting location on Sat the 20th and clinic costs.  People  
who want to get a leg up on the officials clinic are encouraged to  
download the USCF rulebook at <http://www.usacycling.org/forms/ 
USCF_Rulebook.pdf> and read through the general rules and the road,  
track and Cross specific portions.
