On the 18th of February around 25 marshals from the Eastern Centre Marshals Club headed to The Bunbury Arms, Great Barton for a pre-season meal. Lots of chat about the season ahead begun as a list of fixtures was given out. The marshals club have been working hard over the winter working on our aim to encourage new and younger people to take up marshalling. Part of this has been to increase the social side of marshalling with meals and BBQ’s being planned for the year. We have also been working on gaining some sponsorship which has included a grant from the ACU Motocross Committee for Bump caps and some other sponsors for our new hi-vis. Keep an eye out for these at events this year. During the meal a special presentation was made to one of our members, Malcolm Stevens was awarded the piss-taker of the year, a fitting achievement I’m sure you will agree.

If you are interested in marshalling at events or want to know more about the role. Then please get in touch or speak to one of our members at the events.

If you would like to support our marshals with some sponsorship or a discount to your business then please email our chairman Kieran, flagman.doherty@sky.com
