What is Spinoff and why are we doing it? Spinoff is Spin Off is an exciting stationary gym bike challenge where teams compete against each

other to ride the furthest and raise the most money.

The event aims to raise the profile of school chaplaincy and provide an effective fundraising vehicle

for state schools and their communities to support their local school chaplain.

Teams consist of 5 to 10 competitors who will ‘push the pedals to the max’ over a 30 minute period.

The overall aim is to be the team who pedals the most kilometres…

Spin Off 2015 was a great success for a number of schools, raising over $15,000 for chaplaincy

services across the region.

Together we are hoping that this event can continue to both encourage fundraising in local

chaplaincies while also being sustainable long term.

When is it? Saturday, 22nd October

Team Checkin from 8:30am, event kicks off from 9am, finished by 12:30pm

Costs

Registering a Team Each school pays a registration fee and can then enter as many teams as they like. The cost for one

school is $100 and is paid by the team leader. (This can be paid by cash up-front or taken out of your

funds raised at the end)

This fee covers the production, printing and post of materials (sponsorship books, etc) that we

supply to your school and a small amount of funds to contribute to the sustainability of the event.

Registering Team Members There will be an individual registration fee of $15 per Adult and $8 per Student. This can be paid by

credit card at time of registration.

This fee covers the certificates and other items supplied to each participant during the event. Also

contributes a small amount to the ongoing viability of the event.

Percentage of funds raised for the sustainability of the event In addition to the registration fee, we are charging 15% on all funds raised to ensure that we have a

small cash reserves that will ensure that can continue to run this event in the future.

How you can help

Volunteers for your team During the lead up to the event, you will need to have someone who is the main leader from your

school (School leader) as well as a team captain for each team. If your school is only entering one

team, then this can be the same person.

During the event, all teams with school aged participants must have 2 adults looking after the team

at all times.

V 1.0 – 10/5/2016 Page 3 of 6

Each leader\helper must complete an assistant leader form (unless they are already a SU Qld

volunteer of staff member). If the helper is not a parent or teacher, they must hold a current blue

card. Assistant Volunteer forms have been sent in your team manager pack.

School Leader

This is the primary contact at your school for all things Spin Off. This is where we will send any

promotional resources (post or email) as well as any questions that may arise relating to

teams/participants from your school.

When registering online, this is the registration that will be prompted to pay the $100 per school

feel. This can be paid up-front or left unpaid and taken out at the end of Spin Off.

A school leader can help look after as many teams as their school enters.

Team Captain

The role of a team captain is to help motivate their team during both the lead up to the event, as

well as to cheer their team on during the event day.

A team captain should only be part of one team.

Team Helpers

The role of a team helper is to assist with the supervision of their team during the event.

Venue/Logistics Volunteers We will also need participating Schools/LCC to provide volunteers to help for the day of Spinoff. If

you or someone from your community is interested in helping out with either the venue setup, pack

up or as a volunteers to assist for part/all of Spinoff itself then please let us know with the contact

details below. 0424 374 658

How to start a team and Register your School The way the registration works is that you first need a team leader to create a team which your

participants can then join.

Jump online to spinoff.org.au, select the “Cleveland” location and click “Register Now”.

(Or use this link: https://suqld.goregister.com.au/spinoffcleveland2016/registration/register/)

You can then select to either “Register a new Team”

You will then be able to set up your team page, add information about your school. Once you

created your team, other team members can sign up and join it, add info about themselves as well

as share information from your team page with friends and family online.

Once you have finished adding your team, you will also be prompted to add other registrations to

your team. If this is the first registration from your team, you can add a “School Leader” as well. If

you haven’t yet picked a “School leader”, this can be done later from the main registration page. You

will need to have nominated a school leader before we post you any printed materials.

Your school leader will also receive printed sponsorship booklets that your team members can use

to collect donations in person from their friends, family and neighbourhood.

Note: If you can’t find your school in the “Who are you Supporting” list when registering a

participant, leave it blank to complete your registration and then email youth-

V 1.0 – 10/5/2016 Page 4 of 6

families@clevelandunitingchurch.com with the name of your School/LCC. We will get your school

added to the list of options and also edit your team to reflect this.

Managing Your Team Online At any point after you have created your team, you can head back to:

https://suqld.goregister.com.au/spinoffcleveland2016/fundraise/

And select to “Login for Existing Team”.

This will take you to your team management page where you can adjust your fundraising goals,

check the current team members as well as make any payments.

Note: If you forget your team login details, email youth-families@clevelandunitingchurch.com and

they will be re-sent to the email address that was entered when the team was created.

Editing your Team

Using the options along the top of the page, you can edit any part of your team profile, add/remove

members as well as edit any of the registrations for your team.

Allowing participants to pay for themselves Another thing that you may want to edit is how your team members pay. The default behaviour of

GoRegister is that when you create a team, the registration cost of team members is only able to be

paid by the team manager.

Depending on how you want to run your fund raiser, you may want to give team members the

option to pay their registration cost themselves at time of registration. To do so, you need to check

the option indicated below:

V 1.0 – 10/5/2016 Page 5 of 6

There is no “submit” or “save” button on this page, your checking/unchecking of this option should

be reflected immediately for any team members who register.

Before the Event You School Leader will be sent details in the week leading up to the event detailing your team arrival

and heat times.

On the Day Teams arrive and assemble in the marshalling area 1/2 hour before their designated heat. Teams

need to stay until the end of the last heat in their category if they are in line for a prize. Prizes will be

awarded after the conclusion of the heat(s) for each category.

Teams will also have an opportunity to have their photo taken to be in the running to win our prize

for the “Best Dressed Team”, so get creative and get your team colours on!

Each participant will also be provided with a free bottle of water.

We will be running a canteen for light refreshments throughout the day.

Incentives for rapid registration & funds raised Registering early not only gives you the best opportunity to find sponsors but also helps to spread

out the admin load on us as the organisers. Likewise we want to encourage your teams to not just

participate individually but to be rewarded for gaining sponsorship as a team.

As such, an extra minute will be added to your allowed time for:

The first 20 teams that sign on.

Teams that raise $500 in sponsorship (not including registration.)
