No

that's a shame, but isn't necessarily a deal breaker

I'm signed up for Novice racing but if this can be fitted in and explained to someone who currently knows fook all about marshalling then happy to help
what does a marshall do exactly?

Hold out a yellow flag to warn others of a fallen rider, you could be busy with everyone on their twitchy old school rides  :LolLolLolLol:

were there marshalls last year?

and flags? did i miss the briefing about waved yellows or something?

think i might have still be a little too out of it to notice!

so, are there several different coloured flags? like in f1?

 :daumenhoch:

Post by: griff on August 02, 2011, 05:02 PM
following on from the previous questions, are the flags made of metal? just noticed that the latest forecast for Sunday is scattered fookin thunderstorms so might be a good idea to use plastic ones...

Miss Webb I've told you we sit a discuss the finer aspects of life and philosophise about the current state of modern England.

We may share the occasional sweet sherry and hold hands but that’s it, I am a gentleman and she is a lady.

We press wild flowers and read passages from most of the classic poets
