You must marshall the heat after your race. If you have a double up please get soemone else to cover that race. Marshalling is the most important part of racing and if no-one does it, then the day drags. Just get out there, you do learn lots of lines and techniques if you are sharp.

We will advise on our facebook page any updates. Should this also be wet, the event will be cancelled.
