No Marshal No Race

Final Call for marshals

A long standing club rule states if you are racing a club race you must provide one competent marshal to help out at the event. No Marshal No Race. To date we have only received 20 names for Rosses Point and we are approximately 60 names short. Our priority is to run a safe race for visitors not club members. Therefore we are giving the 80 plus registered club members who have not provided a name until Sunday the 23rd of July to provide your marshals name and mobile phone number. If you have not provided a name by Sunday the 23rd of July we will publish the list of non responder’s names on Monday the 25th of July. We will give the non responders a further 24 hours to provide a marshals name and if they don’t there names will be withdrawn from the registered entries list. You will be expected to marshal at the event. The final list of entries will be going to the timing company on Tuesday the 26th of July. Make sure your name is on it by providing a name.

We have sent plenty of notice in relation to marshals to no avail. As the TV licence man says we have heard all the excuses. NO Marshal No Race. This will be strictly enforced.

The marshals will be needed from 8am – 12.30pm. They will be assigned to a team (See below) and a team leader will brief them on the morning of the event. The marshals and their respective teams will be published on the blog and emailed to club members on Wednesday the 27th of July.
