Entries and Marshals registration open tomorrow on chelmsfordmc.co.uk
The Preston requires a large number of marshals. Can we tempt you with a 40th special treat?
Marshals Registration
Marshals registration will open on 1st October. This year we will be providing special ‘40th anniversary’ Preston fleeces to all marshals registered before the 1st November who cover a minimum of two controls. This will be restricted to two fleeces per marshalling team, for those who attend with a team of more than two, why not consider pairing off into two person teams which will help cover the vast amount of controls and secure yourselves a fleece! We will endeavour to place you in nearby locations or same sections when possible. The registration form will ask for you to state your fleece size. We need to place the order for these on 1st November to ensure they are delivered ready for issue on the day of the Preston so please be prompt. If you register after 1st November we will still be very pleased to see you but unfortunately we will not have a stock of spare fleeces. There will be an opportunity to purchase additional fleeces but we require payment before 1st November. Price will be £25.
As in previous years, for those marshals who marshal 3 controls or one control in the 2nd and one control in the 3rd legs, then we will be providing a free cooked breakfast at Snetterton circuit from 6am.
As Clerks of Course, Bob and I thank you in advance. As all the competitors know, without you there would be no event. Based on our twelve years organising the Preston, we are clear, we think our Preston Marshals are the best.
I look forward to seeing you all on the night and also all the Christmas lights, fancy dress etc.
Chief Marshal is Luis Gutierrez-Diaz, ably supported by Richard Milbank and Jim Bowie
A little sad that we won't be competing this year (I've reached the finish 12 times and am too superstitious :-) ), but very happy to be able to come and marshal instead, on what is of course the best rally in the world.
Looking forward to seeing you out there... somewhere... (cue X Files music)
