SCR WORK DAYS
As a fully volunteer-run organization, the most important obligation and responsibility of
every Steel City Riders’ member is to complete one mandatory work day per
racing season. Work days allow us to safely run events, they keep our membership
fees affordable, and they allow members to be active participants in the running of our
amazing organization! If you feel you cannot commit to a work day, SCR may not be the
club for you.
When registering for a membership, everyone is required to select their preferred work
day from the race/event lists. Families require a work day for each member in their
membership, ages 8 and up (as of January 1st of the calendar year). The work day
selections are first-come, first-served so register early! *Note that all new/first-year
members are required to fulfil their work day at an ‘away’ race track.
A typical work day involves flagging at a race. Flaggers must be 14 years and older.
Parents/guardians of minors, younger than 14, must complete the work day/s for their
child/children.

Your first work day can be a bit intimidating, but with a little education and training, you
will be ready to complete your day!
It is the sole responsibility of each member to complete their selected work day, or
make arrangements for someone to cover, on their behalf. A responsible person, 14
years and older, who has completed the Flagging Safety Training Video Tutorial, can fill
in for a member. The fill-in does not need to be a member. It is each member’s
responsibility to ensure that they (or their substitute) signs in with the member’s name at
work day registration, to be credited. If a member wishes to send a courtesy email with
the name of who we can expect in their place, that would be appreciated.
Any member who has a no-show on their work day will have their membership
privileges suspended immediately, with no options to renew in the future.
You can’t attend your Work Day?
- Trade your day with a member scheduled on a different day.
- Pay someone. A request on our SCR Facebook pages usually works. **Note:
SCR is not involved in any arrangements made, including pricing or method of
payment. Also note, work days can be 10 hours in length and often require travel
time and costs, so keep it fair.
- As a very last resort, we occasionally have a list of people who will do work days
for a fee. If we have names, we will be happy to share with you.
- DO NOT LEAVE IT TO THE LAST MINUTE TO FIND WORK DAY COVERAGE.
Please contact us at steelcity@steelcityriders.ca with any work day questions.
Thank you for fulfilling your membership obligations so we can all continue doing what
we love!
