OK as soon as I find out I'll post where and when!

The supporters pack is good if youre gonna go to the main spots, especially Swinton Mill X roads, and the Langton water splash. There are a few other good spots out of the way if you know where  [:)]

I'd like to know where![:)] Marshalling anyone?

Marshals

April 2006.

Dear Marshal,

I’m sure you’re already aware of the dates for the rally, 7th - 9th July ’06, so here I am again with my annual plea for Marshals to assist in the running of the British mainland’s’ only closed road event. The Rally will cover some 140 stage miles over the three days and host many competitors from Clubman level up to WRC status and involving about 180 cars.

On Thursday 6th July ’06 there is a ‘shakedown’ taking place in the grounds of Floors Castle from 19.00hrs. onwards at which you’ll be most welcome to come along too and start a weekend of rallying over the closed roads of Berwickshire.

As this is a unique event there are some unique conditions that have to be complied with, one of which is to provide Marshals at specific places, i.e. junctions, X roads etc. and to be able to identify them to the authorities in advance of the rally running. Because of this I need to know in advance who the Marshals are, so please let me know a.s.a.p. if you can help.

The format is basically the same as last year but with 6 stages on Friday, 14 on Saturday and 11 stages on Sunday (including the now infamous 75m ford on the Whiteadder stage). You can see, there is a need for a large number of Marshals, so any help will be most welcome.

The improved camping / caravan facilities will be available at Kelso, again, FOC to marshals who book in advance, before 1 July ‘06.

Please note, to use the campsite there will be a flat fee payable for the weekend or part thereof for anyone not pre-booked. (£40 per tent or caravan)

In order to update contact details and to ensure I can update you with event details as we go along, would you please check the address label on the envelope sent to you is correct, if not, let me know. Also, would you provide me with your contact telephone number and an e-mail address, if you have one.

A Marshals draw will be repeated again this year.

So, if you can help, please let me know a.s.a.p.

Andy.

OK, I'll dig out last years map with the stages on, and mark some good viewing spots on for ya's!

It'll be a rough guide just now, till I either find last week's paper, or the 2006 maps are out...

Go on St3ph3n, you know you want to!!

Myself and a few mates have been going to this for the last few years. We've got some accomodation booked up for the Friday and Saturday night but still got to decide who's driving! I've done it for the last 2 years so i'm counting myself out this time, it's my turn to be on the  all day!!

Hope to see some of you there

Edit: Not going to make it after all! I'm getting sent back offshore 4 days after this trip so i'm going to miss it[:D] I did tell the guys in the office ages ago that i needed this weekend off but somewhere along the way they've mixed the dates up. Never mind, the only good thing to come from all this work is that ill be able to buy the PPG gear kit a bit sooner [:)]

Will be there with John marshall in N555 BAT Subaru yet again for Friday/Saturday and Sunday.

 

Now dont get jeleous guys and give us a wave?

Davie, you don't have a number for Andy Nicolls per chance.

I know he must be VERY busy organising this but he's not responding to my e-mails.

Will be heading to this once again.

Iff anyone is considering marshalling again the organisers are offering free camping to marshalls who book in advance (before 1st july)

Sunday stage "Whiteadder" has the infamous 75metre ford, very spectacular!!!!!

See ya,
