Cotswold Historic Rally – 1st August 2021

A REQUEST FOR MARSHALS

Tavern Motor Club are organising the above event on Sunday 1st August.  

The event starts and finishes at Cotswold Edge Golf Club, Wotton-under-Edge, GL12 7PT with the first car starting at 8.30am.  

The morning will comprise of three Regularities and half of the Tests before lunch and another three Regularities and the remainder of the Tests in the afternoon.  The event is scheduled with the first car finishing around 5pm.

The majority of the 6 Regularities and the 3 Test venues are contained in an area between Stroud, Cirencester, Royal Wootton Basset and Chipping Sodbury, with one Regularity around Cirencester. 

The Regularities, which use the public highway, require 13-16 crews of two people each. Each crew could, if they wanted to, ‘man’ a control on a morning Regularity and another at a different location on an afternoon Regularity, or could do one Regularity control earlier and marshal on a Test later, or vice versa.

Marshals can also ‘man’ a Test venue for the day, and we will need many marshal crews to cover the 3 venues.

If you are interested in marshalling on the event could you please contact myself at denise@desbois.co.uk or on 01761 233510 before 9pm please.   

You are probably aware by now that marshals have to register online their availability to marshal due to the current COVID restrictions.  Please register at https://mtc1.uk/Marshals/CotswoldHistoric21/MarshalForm.php   

If registering online is not possible please contact me on the above contact details.

The entries opened on the 7th June and I’m delighted to say that we have 69 entries within 24 hours!!  Total entry 75 cars so we are very hopeful that we will have a full entry on the day.

Many thanks in advance

Denise Desbois – Chief Marshal
