My BANES Cross Country Contribution

After contributing to the cross country, I think it ran really well and there was only really one mess up which I was not involved in. I felt that the section I was Marshaling went really well and everyone knew where to go on our section and where to go for the next section. I think I completed all of my jobs.

With my partner, we set up our section and made it visible for the runners, we were always aware of the runners and checking around to see if anyone injured themselves. We acted responsible and didn't use any inappropriate language and told runners where they had to go.

After it finished, we made sure our section was all cleaned up (collected cones, poles and tape) and made sure all the runners had finished.

Improvements we could have made to the running of the competition are:
-Make sure everyone turns up
-Make sure all the races were done at separate times instead of last 4 together
-Have better communications (messenger/walkie talkies)
