Call-out for more marshals

Thu, 15 Aug 2019

More marshals are urgently needed for the opening practice day of the Festival of Motorcycling.

The first practice session is due to get underway at 5pm this Saturday.

Clerk of the Course Gary Thompson is appealing for volunteers to help the "orange army".

Dave Dentith, IOM TT Marshals’ Association Chairman said: “I’d like to ask every local marshal to come and help over the coming fortnight. We know not everyone can do the whole fortnight, but we’d really appreciate whatever time you can give to help make this brilliant event happen. Come along for a couple of sessions, help out your fellow marshals, and support the riders competing in the Classic TT and Manx Grand Prix.

“We’re also keen to encourage new people to get involved too. Our experienced team is up at the Grandstand ready to sign-on experienced marshals and to register new marshals and to help answer questions any questions they may have.”
