Call for volunteers to marshal/assist at the Cliffhanger Hillclimb.

Once again, I am asking for volunteers to assist with duties at the Cliffhanger Hillclimb - 17th and 18th March.

It looks like about 10 more marshals/assistants are needed.

Duties include:

Marshals at various points along the route. (you get a great view up close to the action - and a free non-alcoholic drink or two - it would pay to bring a hamper with a bit of food though)

Sausage sizzlers/drink sales/money handlers.

Time keepers.

And an MC to announce the riders etc.

A marshals' briefing will occur at about 8.45am on each of the mornings, so you would need to be there at about 8.30am. The day would end approximately 4.45pm.

Perhaps partners or friends of people entering could assist in some way ?

If you are keen - please advise by reply in here or PM me with your cellphone number.

What's the difference between Cliffhanger class and Support class? Age of bike (classic racing?) , horsepower...or just top guns vs joe publics.
I'm still searching for an event with a class for 800cc parallel twins only. I'd get a bollocking in the above 601cc class up against the 160hp+ 1000/4s!
Edit; make that euro twins only

Sorry but no. If it makes you feel better I am on the committee and had to pay my entry fee as well. No discount even.

Yep - Top Guns vs Joe Publics - I'm a Joe....King Joe at the moment......

There are only 5 individual classes this year - 2 cliffhanger classes, 2 support classes and sidecars.

I understand that top three in each class will get a medal, with overall winner getting a trophy. We should be able to offer some prizes though for various riders/bikes, as we have done in the spirit of the sprints.

**skelstar** · 1st March 2007, 09:58

You'll probably kick my arse. 600cc power in a 919cc bike

Would anyone be more willing to marshal if say a free lunch was offerred ?

Say, a can of Red Bull, a bottled water, an apple, banana and sausage in bread ?

I can raise this as an option with the committee if it will tempt people to help out.
