I think that we have to do something for the marshals. I am not a legal person so I don't know if incentives or benefits would make the marshals an employed person of the , now ACU Events team. If so would this have other ramifications personal Tax and also make them more liable and therefore more at risk of legal action if something goes wrong. On the tax point having an 'offshore' income no matter how small would definitely cause more problems for the UK guys that come to marshal.

But how about this for an idea....

The marshals would have a day off from the races on a rota basis and be guests of the organisers. The full works, just as a thank you. In addition do something like the Marshals dinner but maybe three nights of practice with free tickets to the presentations. Maybe put on a day for marshals on non race days, where Steve Colley could do something the riders do a benefit day for the Marshal association, get some of the freestyle motox guys over. Put something on just for the marshals.

Just a thought.
