TOY RUN MARSHALLS As you are aware the annual MRAA TOY RUN is on again this year. The 14th of December is when this colourful parade of motorcycles decked out with tinsel and the odd Santa will once again ride en-masse to deliver a smile to a child’s face. In order for the event to be labelled a success we require the column of bikes to arrive at the destination incident free. Someone needs to tell 15,000 motorcyclists where to go. Do you have the courage?? Once again the MRAA is putting out a call for 20 Marshals that will be required on the day to ensure this wonderful event runs as smooth as a bikers bum. Your mission, should you wish to accept it, is to direct motorcyclists to appropriate areas in the assembly area and the final destination. You will work closely with the Police and Emergency Services to ensure the safe transit of 15,000 motorcycle riders during the main parade. The Chief Marshal who acts as second in command to the Event Manager will manage the team of Marshals. This is your opportunity to meet most of the motorcyclists on the event, as the Marshals will be the first point of contact for riders as they arrive in the Assembly area. As the focal point for information, Marshals provide the answers to the “who?” “where?” “how long?” questions that will be asked on the day. As a volunteer Marshal you will be instructed on the correct radio procedures to be followed on the day. You will also be required to attend a “DRY RUN” of the course to identify any aspect of the job that may have been overlooked. We are only perfect at one thing, listening.
