Roche GP

Coming up in a little over two weeks on Wed 26th June is one of the club's flagship races, the Roche GP. It's a great spectacle of racing, and we get big crowds for it as part of the Dundrum festival. Last year we had Nicolas Roche on hand to present the prizes, not to mention Pedro Delgado at the start line.

It's held on a tight and fast circuit on a housing estate in Meadowmount in Churchtown (goo.gl/maps/hdv09), and we need marshalls to keep things safe. It's one of more enjoyable races on the calendar to marshall - you'll have the bunch come whizzing past you every two minutes, so you can watch the race unfold.

If you're available on the night, please add your name below so we can better plan a roster. There will be no A4 racing on the night, so we'd encourage the A4s to come along and marshall, in the knowledge that next year it'll hopefully be your turn to race. If we don't get the full complement ahead of time, Orwell riders who are signed on to race on the night will have to step up to marshal instead.

We've worked it out at about 20 people needed to man the course, lead cars and sign-on. Marshalls will need to report for duty at about 6.30pm.

Every member of the club knows it takes plenty of volunteers to make sure an event - whether racing or leisure - is safe and well-run, so please stick your name down!

That's 12 so far - any more takers? This is on next Wednesday guys and gals, I need a bigger list to pass on to the chief marshall!
