Just a reminder that the Club TT on Pearl Lane on Wed 13th Aug is not taking place, it is replaced by the Interclub TT around Bredon Hill, starting near Little Comberton, Pershore at 1900.
Points in this event will still count to the club championship.

Just wondering if anyone can advise on how the cancellation will affect me, as I was down to marshall at Pearl Lane next week as one of my two marshalling duties (tonight at Great Witley being the other). Obviously I want to ride at Bredon Hill to support the team in the Interclub contest, and intend to ride the Club Champs and hill climb in the subsequent weeks, but if I ride those then the cancellation of Pearl Lane leaves me without a second event to marshall at. Will I lose my points due to not marshalling twice?

Fear not Steve, we are not that harsh! You won't loose your points. You planned to marshall, its not your doing that the TT has been moved to the Interclub, and we would certainly prefer that you ride in that event to give us the best result we can pull off (I am even being persuaded to dust off (literally) my TT bike for it!).
Although we haven't got hard and fast rules on this, if someone has their name entered onto the Club Marshall Duty Rota on the main club website before the club TT event, and it is then subsequently cancelled or changed, it will still count as one of the marshaling duties. That is a fair approach.
Its not a perfect world, whenever a TT is cancelled for whatever reason it plays into some peoples hands and not others. It has to be that way, especially as we approach the end of the season and the number of events left for alternative marshalling duties gets less. We have to allow for the situation where someone is planning to marshall at the last 2 club TT events and one or both of them gets cancelled.
What wouldn't be allowed is a member stating verbally that they were going to marshall, the event being cancelled, but their name not being on the duty rota sheet before the cancellation was announced.
I look forward to seeing you next week, it sounds like there will be a good turn out!
