Wicklow 200 Marshalling- **Final Reminder**

*** REPLIES ONLY TO wicklow200volunteers@gmail.com ***

The Wicklow 200 takes place this Sunday, 9th June. A recent survey of participants showed a high level of satisfaction with the organisation and marshalling of the event and we are proud of the enormous contribution that you, the IVCA members, make to maintaining the Wicklow 200’s reputation as Ireland’s Premier Sportive event.

Our event organisers, led by Alan Heary, whom most of you met at our Race Information Days in March, and Lorraine Lewis, have already sent out marshalling allocations (about 10 days or so ago) – from the following email address :
wicklow200volunteers@gmail.com

Membership fees have been heavily discounted in anticipation of the voluntary work by members on the event.

You are reminded that the following sanctions shall apply where members fail to assist with the event, or result in a “no show” at their allocated marshalling position/role:

  • a SIX WEEK ban shall apply to your participation in all racing and time trial events, AND
  • ALL prize awards and monies shall be forfeit

The IVCA wishes to thank all members for their assistance in marshalling the Wicklow 200, and we look forward to another successful event this year, thanks to all your help.
