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.
