Event #2 was a reminder of how hectic it can be for the worker chief alone. So I am in need of some help.
I need a consistent volunteer to learn the ropes of worker-jerk. We would both work as "worker chiefs" through-out the event, which includes but not limited to:
-Making the workers RUN, not walk.
-Confirming key-roles(safety, timing, grid, traffic, sound, announcer, competent corner chiefs, and starter).
-Getting equipment out to each corner.
-Verifying that all participants check-in for their work assignment.
-Several other things I'm sure I missed.
Ideally, the volunteer and I wouldn't run the same heat. That way neither of us have to worry about checking in workers RIGHT before you run. As a worker chief, you sometimes have to do certain roles that you were unable fill that heat. Since I've been worker-jerk I've also done these roles, sometimes at the same event: timing, audit, announcing, grid, corner chief, helmets, sound, start. Obviously with more organization the chances of doing another role... drop. Also, encouraging other people to do such roles instead of shagging cones helps
The volunteer would also be my direct back-up for events I cannot make and vise versa.

Re: Worker Chief assistance
I would be glad to assist. I'm always on sight early. A good mix of experienced people with new folks at each corner could help eliminate possible safety concerns.
Definitely tough for one worker chief to accomplish work assignments/potential safety issues by there self.
When starting where we did yesterday, it would also be very helpful for starter and grid to communicate a bit more so as not to run out of cars to send.
Let me know if I can be of assistance.
