There is the op- tion to class the crew as a retirement or impose a 30 minute penalty but whichever is to be selected it must be stated in the event regulations. During the WRGB last year there was almost the cancellation a stage due to lack of marshals and other events have been suffering cancelled stages for the same reason. We need to encourage more marshals but how do we do it ? From 1st January next year all marshals will have to be accredited having done the online training modules. This might put people off marshalling but several of us have completed the training and it is not daunting with the majority of answers being common sense. Marshals/radio operators do not have to wear a specific ‘yellow flag’ tabard in that role unless it’s in the event regulations (however a ‘regular’ tabard must be worn). It was questioned why marshals/ radio operators need to show the yellow flag to nu- merous safety cars, particularly when it’s raining. Recording where yellow flags are positioned, e.g. by the radio controller or stage commander, should suffice. All clubs were requested to get their members to sign up for the petition against the proposed in- creases in forest charges by Natural Resources Wales. #rally4wales. th The next meeting will be on 20 July at the Hartwood Hotel, Chorley.
