Union Mills - Sector 1

I only come over for the MGP fortnight and I move site to site.

I marshal at braddan oak tree, been there for TT and MGP for last 15 years.

on responce car 2 get dumped with any one thats short and will put up withe me , usualy any where from Ballacraine to the 32nd

Sulby Bridge, New Flag (Millrace) or Village (Kella), depends where I am needed.

First time last year. Twice at the church on the left just further up than Glen vine I think but can't remember the name of the church. Anybody know it's name ?

 Did  the senior race at Parliament square due to a change of accommodation on the last day.

2015 am going for practice week - another first. Hope to marshal again but will have my son with me  this time ( another first and hopefully a new convert) he's only 14 yrs. Do you think they ( Marshals association ) will allow me to bring him along to a marshaling post or not ?

Mine came along with me from 14. CSM made pragmatic decision that he couldn't be left by himself so he could join us at our "safe" location as long as he stayed in the area where we were standing (and where the public also were allowed).  He had to stay where he was if we had anything to do or "help" from the safe area.  Worked well for us and he got a good insight into what to do.  At 19 he's a real old hand now.  He was really good for going to the cars to get us brews and butties and so on.  Once I crossed the fence to ride in the event he continued to do the practices and the races I wasn't in, but only from Governors to the Pits.  I had no ride this year so we went to separate places on the Mountain for practice week but on pit duty for race week.  I'm not sure I'd go anywhere other than the Mountain now.  Loved it up there.

2 years ago was my first, greeba castle.
This year was windy corner for a few days, then laurel bank for a couple. Might even have met eddy coming out of the car.

Usually sector 9 joeys looking at the fantastic views over ramsey inbetween the racing

Railway, Union Mills (with Panman) for TT and MGP although no TT next year as the good lady insists she wants a holiday, so we are leaving the Isle of Man as everyone else is arriving.

Didn't manage last year with work commitments, have done many places in Kirk Michael. May look at the mountain this year.

Yep, usually as a Mountain Marshall.

Brandywell for the last 28? years.....complete with long johns and warm drinks etc......and a very loyal bunch of fellow Marshals who are now very good friends and we all enjoy the best view on the Course!!

Sector 2 for 20+ years

could well have done Col it has become a regular place for us , its funny how some places struggle for a while then and they have to put up with us then they get them selves a regular crue and we dont see them for a while , have been on the car for about six years now and for the fist four years we were never down there then over the last couple of years we are becomeing regulars , just how it goes butI like the never knowing where we are going to end up , and the ride round on closed roads is good as well , intraduse your self next time Col
