New For 2008

VENUE – OULTON PARK
This season we are very proud to announce the addition to our calendar of another of Britain’s top circuits. This will be the clubs first visit ever to this very popular venue. Oulton is famous as a real riders circuit, and is sure to provide us with some very close action.

VENUE – Back to DONINGTON
After a season away from this venue, we are pleased to be returning.

2008 250GP ACU National Championship & NG Cup.
At most of our venues this season NG will be hosting this prestigious and very competitive championship. Expect to see all of the UK’s top 250gp lads going for these honours.

CHAMPIONSHIP UPGRADES
Negotiations are currently taking place to win extra sponsorship to enhance many of our championships, and bring in one or two “feature” races. - Watch this Space!

Other Dates On Availability Form

As in previous years I have included a number of other non-NG events to which NG Marshals are invited to assist.
05/06 JULY - BEAULIEU MOTORCYCLE WORLD SHOW
The show organisers have again asked NG Marshals/Scrutineers to help in the running of the track and arena events. As those of you who have attended in the past will know, this is a really great weekend and in exchange for our professional assistance, we not only get free access to one of the best shows of the year, we also get a splendid close up view of all the stunts in the arena, and exotic machinery as they “parade” around the show track.

26/27 JULY – ABERDARE PARK ROAD RACES.
Very different and a must if you have never been!

16/17 AUGUST – CASTLE COMBE
Organised by New Era, and including rounds of the ACU Moto Star series.

Your Support

NG Roadracing is continuing to grow, as we travel to more circuits than ever before. We are proud to offer our competitors a club racing series that is second to none when it comes to the variety of top circuits, close racing and club friendly classes.
We need you to be a part of this and help us ensure we also continue to offer our competitors the safest of conditions and the slickest organisation.

In Return

In 2008 NG Roadracing are pleased to continue to provide all Marshals and Officials at all of our meetings with:

• A cooked breakfast each day.
• A lunch pack each day.
• £10 expenses each day.
• An action packed programme of racing.

Volunteering

I understand that not every one is available for every meeting, or in a position to travel to all venues, but no matter how many, or how few meets you are able to volunteer for, you will still be made most welcome by the NG family.

New Marshals Needed

As NG Roadracing continues to grows, the need for more Marshals increases. Many of us started our Marshalling careers by being introduced by a friend already marshalling. So I ask you to look around and think if there are any folk you could introduce to the sport. They’ll be sure to thank you for it, once they too discover that marshalling is what week ends were invented for.

2008 Marshal Training

Once again NG Roadracing Marshals are invited to attend a Racesafe   organised training day. This year this will take place at Thruxton on Sun 09 March. Please try to attend, especially if you haven’t been to a training day for a year or two. If you are relatively new to Marshalling. Please note it is necessary to attend, to lose your novice status.

How Do I Become A Road Race Marshal?

IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN TO A ROAD RACE MEETING OR SEEN ONE ON TV YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THE MARSHALS, EITHER REMOVING FALLEN BIKES AND RIDERS OR GIVING FLAG SIGNALS TO THOSE WHO ARE RACING.
WHO ARE THEY? - All Marshals have one thing in common, their interest in motorcycle racing, and they all want to be more involved than just spectating. Apart from this shared interest they can and do come from all walks of life, all ages over 18, and of course both sexes.
HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY GIVE? - A Marshal is required to be on duty for the whole of practice and racing. They also attend a training day each year.
ADVANTAGES OF BEING A MARSHAL
· Working with like-minded people. Shared interest.
· Close involvement with the action.
· Free admission to meetings.
· Satisfaction of doing a job critical to making racing safer.
Marshals are vital. Race meetings cannot take place without them .
HOW DO I BECOME A MARSHAL, AND WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED OF ME? - Organisers of race meetings are always happy to welcome and train new Marshals, most people start Marshalling with organisations such as ours that are local to where they live, and if they wish, may go on to also Marshal at top British National and International events. It is completely up to the individual as to how many meetings a year they attend. The only commitment required is that they turn up to those meetings for which they have volunteered.
