expecting a large and competitive field at this years event.

Volunteer Information
One of the best ways to get into rallying and learn how and what to do is to volunteer
to help out at an event.
There are many positions available, most not requiring any special knowledge (we'll
teach you anyway). From the registration table to timing controls and spectator
control.
Volunteers are needed:
- To help with competitor registration
- To help with technical inspection of rally cars
- To help with rally equipment for the event -signage, marking off stage areas, etc.
- To operate time controls - timing cars at stage starts, stage finishes and into
the service parks.
- To secure the roads - ensuring that roads leading onto the stages are secure. In
other words, the "best seats in the house to see the action"
- To host sponsor and media representatives
- To help with spectator safety - marshals who ensure that spectators remain in the
designated viewing locations and stay safe.
- To monitor service parks for safe practises and to ensure that spectators are not
too close to competitor cars during service.
Some positions need specialist skills. People with qualifications as amateur radio
operators, emergency medical technicians, and advanced first aid are critical for
event safety and security.
