Why would you need less marshalls? They still have min manning levels?

Big Grin SEE YOU ALL THERE :!: smilie

there may be restrictions on spectating but they will still need the same number of marshals, there will still need to be line of sight marshaling. there is a mimimum number required. i think, it was, 750 people signed on for each session last year.

Cargo may not be the only happy person to hear this news.

I was thinking there's less need to police spectators and that might help? Certainly we will still need the line of sight cover, and a minimum number per marshaling point.

I'm happy alright MV and relieved as well

I've been working all day getting a bike sorted after hitting problems with it..............nearly there.
The tension was unreal..............trying to get the bike sorted and constantly think why bother

Glad no one will be watching my dodgy lines in the mountain now :wink:

Ah, yes, but the real experts, the marshals will... and maybe a few more will volunteer to go up there as it will be the only way to see the action in some areas.... and no stroppy spectators.
Of course we don't get stroppy spectators at the bottom of Bray, just lovely, knowledgable people.

Great news!!

But we WILL need all the marshalls posts up on the mountain fully
manned, Cargo and I will need somebody to wave to!!

Smile

So please, any IMC trained folks that haven't signed on already, please
let the TTMA know you'll be available.

Marshalls are a problem , MGP last year they where a problem this year will be worse with the ongoing situation regarding TT crash , delighted the MGP is running but fear for the future , no marshalls no racing , it has taken many many years but people are only starting to realise how valuable the volunteers are , would you believe that this years TT they struggled for marshalls , well they did .
Unsung heroes all of them .
Wish i coud give the commitment they do .
