Next week’s PokerStars Rally has attracted the strongest line-up in the event’s history, but marshalls are still required to ensure that it will go ahead as planned.

The event takes place over November 10-11 and marks the return to the Manx stages of Paul Bird, Arron Newby and TT star Michael Dunlop (see this week’s Manx Independent).

The organisers, Manx Auto Sport, need marshals to man the stages along with timekeepers and communications teams, and have signing-on meetings across next week:

These take place on the following:

Monday, November 6 - Royal George Hotel, Ramsey 5.30-8.30pm; Wednesday, November 8 - Conference Suite, TT Grandstand 5.30-8.30pm; Thursday, November 9 - Conference Suite, TT Grandstand 5.30-8.30pm .

Friday night features stages in the west of the island, before the route moves on to the north on Saturday from a base at Jurby Guard House throughout.

You do not need to be a registered marshal to assist and newcomers will be placed with experienced marshals.

Further information is available from manxautosport.org or the Manx Auto Sport Facebook page.
