 Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2011 9:32 pm Post subject: Marshals Required for Regional Road Race UPDATE |
 |
|
As the other thread has veered off topic lets have another go!
Following on from the Board meeting, when the comments on the other thread were considered I can report that the event is still going ahead BUT I am still looking for marshals, currently the total stands at 4. There will be three NEG motorcycles, the Police have raised no objection to the circuit and the distance has been reduced to 80 miles. However all this is academic if there are not enough marshals. 
Please only respond to this post if you are proposing to marshal.

Before I volunteer, could you explain what marshals are required to do? Will we have the authority to stop traffic?
Also, what steps is the Regional Board taking to obtain the required number of marshals? |

A fair question , but shouldn't the question be 'What steps are the regional board making to stop the death of Road Racing in the E.Mids' ?

Step 1 - Lead by example by promoting the EM Div Champs when no-one else came forward to do so. |

Below is a copy of my original post (slightly amended) on another thread before it was highjacked....
'In the absence of an organiser from one of the regions clubs/teams for this years event, the East Midlands Regional Board will be organising the Senior Regional Road Race on Sunday 22 May 2011. Any surplus funds generated from the event/catering will be donated to the regional development team funds
Starting at 9:30am from a new HQ for the course, Walton on the Wolds Cricket Club on Loughborough Road, LE12 8HT, the race will use the Six Hills circuit covering a total of 80miles. The circuit goes from Walton on the Wolds north to the Six Hills Hotel (on the A46), then west to Burton on the Wolds, then south back to Walton on the Wolds.
The circuit requires a minimum of 13 marshals for this event to take place and for your region/club/teams riders to be able to compete to be the Regional RR Champion.
The role of marshal will require you to be at the HQ at 8:30am for a briefing and the issuing of equipment. The race should be finished in less than 4 hours.
I have already had one person volunteer but if there are not enough marshals the event will not take place!
Please contact me with your details either through Veloriders, or email peter.lifford@googlemail.com or call me on 07852167476 by 8 May.'

Ray,
Marshal's duties are:
1. Indicate direction to all race personnel from lead cars to last vehicle.
2.Warn all race personnel of potential hazards where they exist.
3. Advise members of the public of the prescence of the race.
They do not currently have the authority to stop traffic.
Asking for help on here and in person as they see people.

| On the other thread, someone said that he thought that this circuit was "safe" because the marshals had stopped the traffic. If you are now saying that the traffic cannot be stopped, where does that leave us? |
