There are currently two places free for Sunday – if you are available, please contact Rod Dacombe!

You *must* keep some tension on the cable when pulling the cable out or winding it away! Do NOT let the cable run loose when winding it up, and do not let the winch run free when pulling it out – you need to pull the cable down the length of the pitch as you slowly control the speed of the winch as you let the cable out.

If you do not keep tension in the cable, you run a strong risk of jamming the cable in the winch (by it looping off the reel in some fashion) – trying to subsequently force the winch/cable will make an even bigger mess! It’ll also result in a long, greasy process of trying to fix it, which I will personally supervise if anyone stuffs it up by not following the instructions!

If anyone has questions, please ask someone who knows what to do before using it!

NB: We have been lucky enough to be selected to host an Oxfordshire Women’s fixture this Sunday, the 24th of May. We need some volunteers to help with the groundwork that we need to provide, in order for the fixture to take place. Paul White will be managing the Oxfordshire Ladies Team, and will therefore be present during the day. He will be representing the OCB and therefore won’t have time to carry out this work, but he will be there to answer any questions etc. if you are not sure on anything.

Ideally it would be best to have a representative there for the whole day, but we understand that this is less than likely during a bank holiday weekend. But if you feel you can offer any assistance before, during or at the end of the match please let Tom Allen know ASAP.
