'Big Push' to recruit TT marshals

It's a week until the start of TT 2011 but there will be some familiar faces around the 37.75 mile course today (Saturday).

TT marshals will be among those taking part in Sure's second annual Sidecar Push to raise money for the children's hospice, Rebecca House.

Teams of volunteers will take turns to push a sidecar, which weighs 150 kilograms, all the way around the course, starting at the TT Grandstand at 8am and finishing at the Sure Shop in Douglas.

It's part of the company's bid to recruit volunteer marshals for TT 2011.

Members of the Marshal's Association will also be recruiting at the Sure shops in Douglas and Ramsey.
