Marshalling on Tour Britannia 2008
In its first three years, Tour Britannia has firmly established itself as Britain 's premier historic race-tour and has also set high standards in marshalling, whilst earning a reputation as a friendly event with a unique sense of camaraderie, not only amongst its competitors but also amongst those who ensure that the event runs smoothly, efficiently and safely – the marshals.
In addition to the senior officials on the sporting side:
Fred Gallagher – Sporting Director
Andrew Kellitt – Clerk of the Course (Competition)
Ray Crowther – Clerk of the
Course (Regularity)
Grahame White – Race Director
Tour Britannia has benefitted from the experience and expertise of other top-class officials, together with all those enthusiasts who have ventured out to assist at one or more of the venues.
For 2008, marshals will be recruited from amongst those who have helped out before and additional marshals will be recruited by senior officials and stage commanders. However, we would welcome offers of assistance from others who would like to help this year's event, with probably the largest-ever entry list, become even more successful.
If you would like to offer your services on this year's Tour - on the race circuits, stages or road regularities, at time controls or in the paddock - please print off the Registration Form (see below), complete your details and preferences and then scan and send it as an email attachment to Peter Fieldhouse – Chief Marshal. Alternatively, send it by post to the address shown. You will then be contacted with confirmatory details. Only a limited number of places are available at each venue and these will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
You would be very welcome to join us. Tour Britannia is a unique event that will provide happy memories of very pleasant people, superb cars and competitive action. The Organising Team will again show its gratitude to all its marshals by supplying a splendid bag of mementos.
