NOTICE TO ALL COMPETITORS

ALL COMPETITORS MUST OBEY THE RULES OF THE ROAD

 and ride with consideration for other road users. Care should be taken when passing animals, particularly horses that can be easily frightened.

Marshals are in place to indicate the route. They are NOT there to control traffic.

 The onus is on the rider to negotiate junctions safely.

Marshals will act as observers and will report instances of bad behaviour or dangerous riding. Disciplinary action, including exclusion from the results and suspension, may be enforced.

The CA committee are extremely grateful to all marshals who help at events, however, we are always looking for extra help. If you can assist please contact club or event organiser.

Riders may be required to stand down and marshal one event.

Remember to conduct yourself with a sporting attitude, ride safely and good luck.
