We only ask parents to volunteer once during the season, but it is vital that you do.  Marshalls stand out on course and direct athletes to make sure that everybody is safe out there.  You are required to marshall for the whole morning from 8.45 to finish (approx 10.30).

Everyone has been allocated one week.  Make sure that you check when you are on duty.  It is your responsibility to complete duty or arrange to swap days with another parent if you are unable to do your allocated day. Roster link is below.
