Trail Master/Mistress

 

Task: 

Ensure runs occur.

 

Responsibilities:

Obtain volunteers to set runs. 

Provide advise to hares.

Provide details of upcoming runs to On Sex for inclusion in the Trash

Keep the pack together

Mark off trail as checks are resolved

Ensure no one is left behind or gets lost 

 

Tips:

Have hares nominated for up to 6 to 8 weeks in advance.

(it is very hard to find someone who can do a run next week, it is a lot easier to get people to commit a month or two ahead).

Ensure On Sex has at least 4 weeks of receding hareline to publish.

 

Building sites are an excellent place to get free gyprock, ask the plasterer if you can have some scraps from the bin.

 

Add lots of extra trail for those who may be behind.

Wait at checks for the true trail to be found so you don’t have to run back to mark off the check.

Never assume the last of the pack is with you.  Someone may have arrived late and is trying to catch up by following trail.  There is nothing worse than being in this situation and the checks are not marked off.

Back at the on on, make sure that everyone who started the run has come back.  Organise a search for anyone missing (this is serious; someone could be hurt or lost).

Ensure you have a replacement if you cannot be there, or give the GM plenty of chalk for these circumstances.

 

Above all – Have fun and enjoy your year – make it your own!
