Cove Classic 2026 — 5th/6th September, volunteers needed

Jamie TrewinAdmin·55d ago

Dates are locked: this year's Cove Classic runs the 5th and 6th of September. After last year's 68 entries we're expecting more, so we need beach marshals, judges' runners, BBQ crew and someone calm to run the tannoy. Entries open mid-July — volunteers get first pick of heat times.

Defending the open title AND flipping burgers if needed. Put me down for both.

Sian Pascoe·#2·54d ago

Judging again, if you'll have me. The beginners' division was the highlight of last year — more of that.

Ellie Trescothick·#3·54d ago

I'll take the BBQ. Also proposing a beach clean sweep before setup weekend.

Bryony Hicks·#4·53d ago

Runner duty for me. And can the heat draw go out earlier than last year? The 7am 'you're on in twenty minutes' text nearly finished me.

Noted, Bryony — the draw goes out the Wednesday before this year, promise. Keep the volunteers coming.
