At present there are five active endurance chief stewards in Tasmania. Of these, four are still actively competing, none are getting any younger and at least one has indicated a desire to wind back.

TEERA is seeking expressions of interest from the Tasmanian endurance community to add to the chief steward pool.

To be a chief steward you need to be 18 years of age and to be a fully accredited TPR steward. You also need the ability to think on your feet and to be able to deal with the occasional 'pressure' situation that arises at rides.

Most chief stewards will tell you that they enjoy the role almost as much as actually competing in an event. Getting to the end of an event with everyone safe, well and happy brings a sense of satistaction of a job well done. Acting as a chief steward provides an opportunity to give back to the sport that has given you much pleasure over the years.

If you think you might be able to assist, please contact either Mark Dunn or Andrew Miles. Either of these two is also available to discuss in more detail what the role involves.
