Search for more marshals

A high profile TT official says there's a need to encourage young people in the Isle of Man to become marshals for the event.

TT Development Officer Paul Phillips says plans to encourage new volunteers to come forward will be revealed in the New Year.

He says the focus will be on rewarding and recognising the important role marshals play, although there won't be any form of cash payment.

Mr Phillips says 70 per cent of TT marshals come from off the Island, so the pressure is on to find more young local recruits (audio file attached):
