Rathfriland Motor Club held a Marshal Training Night at Kinallen Primary School last Wednesday 5 August, preparing volunteers for the upcoming R Kings Down Rally on 22 August.
The event covered essential topics including spectator safety, incident response and stage setup and signage, with attendees leaving better informed, more confident and more connected as a team.
The initiative was aimed at preparing both new and experienced volunteers for their roles at the rally, with marshalling considered an essential part of any motorsport event. The session included a talk by Motorsport UK representative Raymond Linton, covering safety procedures and communication protocols.
The evening concluded with a group photoshoot alongside rally cars in attendance, including Stuart Biggerstaff's VW Polo and Niall Braniff's Ford Escort Mk2, both of whom are hoped to be competing at this year's rally.
Rathfriland Motor Club thanked Kinallen Primary School for allowing them to use the site for the training session.
