GP Gloucester Volunteers: Get Free Food and Win Stuff!!!
Volunteering: Jason K
Sets of wheels, shoes, tools, clothing, food, drink - Just a sampling of the items we have lined up for our Gran Prix of Gloucester volunteers.
The weekend of October 1 & 2 promises to be filled with action as Great Brewers Gran Prix of Gloucester is the first stop in a new UCI international series. As a result, we are expecting a record turnout for both racers and spectators alike. With the the race just next weekend, the membership of Essex County Velo is once again greatly needed in several areas. We can’t pull it off without your help and are looking for volunteers. Ask anyone who has helped in the past — it’s a blast!
Like the past few years we’re making it worth your while. First off, volunteers get free food at the ECV Hospitality Tent. We’re raffling off more cool stuff in our volunteer raffle including stuff from Mavic & Louis Garneau and more. Just like past years, the more you volunteer, the better your chances of winning. Volunteer opportunities are broken up into shifts and the more shifts you take the more raffle tickets you get.
See below for volunteer descriptions and time slots available.
