Welcome
to the home page of the Marshals Association. We are a dedicated body
of people involved in the marshalling of motorcycle racing events, mainly
in the province of Ulster, but also in the rest of Ireland.
We are an integral part of the Ulster Centre of the Motor Cycle Union
of Ireland, the Governing Body of the Sport and our aim is the continual
improvement of marshalling standards at events.
We are always looking
for new members and, after visiting our site, if you think you might like
to give marshalling a try please contact us.
Operation
of the Association:
The Association comprises Road and Flag Marshals with some members doing
either job as required. At Short Circuits we man various posts as required
by the Chief Marshal. At Road Races we mainly operate in groups, manning
a Zone, each Group being led by a Zone Marshal. However some members operate
outside these groups, which is quite acceptable to the Association.

Personal Viewpoint:
I would like to thank my fellow
marshals who turned up at our B&D Clubmans event last Saturday (6
Sept.) at Kirkistown. The weather was atrocious and the fact that the
Power Washer truck did not turn up made things a lot more difficult. We
had 2 bad oil/fuel spillages over the whole track to contend with and
the marshals put in a lot of hard work in trying to clear them up. Unfortunately
the second one beat us and we had to abandon the last race. However, the
main programme was run successfully. Thanks again folks for all your efforts.

Personal Viewpoint
Last weekend I spent
two very enjoyable days, marshalling at East
Fortune at an event hosted by the Melville Club. Thanks to my fellow marshals,
Davy, Geordie, Neill and John for making me very welcome.
