Manx Grand Prix Need More Marshals

The Manx Grand Prix gets underway this weekend.

The biking event is known as the amateurs alternative to the TT.

One thing that the races can't go ahead without is the marshals.

Terry Holmes, the Chief Marshall says that 508 are needed before any practice or race can go ahead.

He said recruiting for the Manx Grand Prix is a tougher task as they rely a lot on local people due to smaller visitor numbers.

Anybody who is interested can attend visit the office which is based at the rear of the grandstand.
