Can you help us at a Rogaine event in 2014?
We need willing and able volunteers to ensure we can stage our 2014 events. Please have a look at the volunteer calendar page to see where help is needed and contact Ian Dempsey if you can lend a hand.
If you can’t make it to an event, setting, vetting, flag hanging or collecting can be a great way to see a course and practice your navigation skills.
The Metrogaine still needs people to hang flags on Saturday 8 Feb, and also some on-the-day help at registration.
