More marshals required - Surrey League events

The annual general appeal for marshals - this is not part of the Club's commitment to the Surrey League, but obviously we get "brownie points" if we do field anyone and, of course, the sport won't run without marshals:

Tour of the South (Stage 1) 27th July


Surrey League Revolutions 5-day 18th to 22nd August.

As per usual we are looking for 'volunteers' to assist with the running of these two events. Any unemployed, unemployable or retired people will do!

For the 'Tour of the South' the BC SE Region/Surrey League is promoting the 1st Stage from Crawley to Liphook. The personnel required are: -Two Lead Cars with drivers, Motor Cycle Escorts/Marshals (these have to be experienced), Broom Wagon with driver plus lots of static Marshals.

The course goes through Charlwood, Leigh, Newdigate, Capel, Beare Green, Ockley, Clemsfold, Alfold, Dunsfold, Plaistow, Shillinglee, Lickfold, Fernhurst and Milland. It finishes with a number of laps of the Milland Hill Circuit. Some 24 points need to be covered. All help will be welcomed. Could your club cover any of these spots? Please contact Glyn (glyn@surreyleague.co.uk) or me with your details (we don't need names we just need to know a spot or spots will be covered).

The 'Surrey League Revolutions 5 Day' also need lots of people. Lead Cars, Escorts and Commissaires are, as usual, required. Marshals are needed by the score! The course areas this year are - Stage 1 Ewhurst/Ockley. Stage 2 Handcross, Stage 3 Goodwood/Midhurst, Stage 4 Wivelsfield and Stage 5 Crowborough and the Ashdown Forest. Again contact Glyn (glyn@surreyleague.co.uk) or myself with your offers. Full details of each stage can be found at http://www.surreyleague.co.uk/news/revolution06.htm

In addition I would like someone (or one per day) to act as Marshals Liaison during the event. This entails organising the Marshals on the day, ensuring they know when and where they have to move from circuit to circuit. I provide the master plan but I need someone to make it work. (This is the job that John Cosstick used to do).

Thank you,
Yours in sport
