Preparations for Albany
I suppose there are a few that understand that events
just don’t happen - they require enormous amounts of
organization and preparation, the vast majority done
by volunteers. For our major events, work for the next
year begins a week or two after the event finishes. And
so it is in Albany: the crew are busy producing a new
style of fastening to secure the chains to the concrete
barriers – we only need about 1,500 of them! These
new fastenings were designed by local stalwart Russel
Johnson, and trialled in the 2015 Albany Classic on the lower Aberdeen Street corner. All
reports indicate that they were a great success – just ask Laurie Lapsley – so it was decided
to replace all the older style bolts, many of which were succumbing to worn or damaged
threads, and needed specialist tools to secure. The new design will be much quicker to install
and won’t need special tools. Of course there is a huge range of tasks besides bolt making to
get each event running as the well-oiled machine that we have all come to expect for
VSCCWA events. If you’re willing to offer your time, I’m sure we can find a task to suit you,
so put your hand up. Talk to any of the Event Organizing Committee people or Ron Fabry.
