    Folks,

    One of the many wonderful things that makes Pedal on Parliament possible is people's willingness to sign up as marshals. We need about twenty in order to go ahead safely this and every year.

    The duties are pretty light;

    * Get there an hour early
    * Attend a briefing and put on a blue tabbard
    * Keep folk on the cycle path as they gather
    * Hand out flags and stickers
    * Speak nicely to people at a given crossing or junction as the parade passes by
    * Report anything dangerous to the police or the head marshal
    * Hand your blue tabbard back

    There's a real feeling of participating and enabling this great event when you marshal. If you want to experience that feeling (again?) please fill out this form;

    or just fire me a PM or e-mail me if you have my real-world details.

    Cheers,

    IWRATS

    Please do sign up. Duties are light! I enjoyed it the past couple of years (I have Other Duties this time round).

    Having marshalled for many years I have experienced the highs, lows, lefts, rights, and sideways of Marshalling. From the year that they couldn't get the roads closed due to a rogue Mercedes rampaging on George IVth bridge, through to last year when there was a massive hole on the royal mile only just covered up in time. It's been a whirlwind.

    I would recommend getting involved as it comes with a wonderful sense of achievement for not very much work at all!

    And a loan of a Blue Tabard of Limited Authority.

    Nice one @niall A I suspect the suspect. Also tried adding my own tag. Never done that before.
