The Isle of Man TT Marshals Association is appealing for marshals to ensure that Saturday's opening Manx Grand Prix practice session can go ahead.

Vice-chairman Terry Holmes said: "The first weekend is always difficult as people are still making their way over for the races."

There will be two sign-on sessions, starting on Thursday at the George in Castletown at 1900 BST.

The second will be on Friday at the same time at the Villa Marina.

Alternatively volunteers can sign-on at the Isle of Man TT Marshals Association office at the back of the Grandstand between 0900 BST and 1730 BST.

A total of 508 marshals are required for each session to go ahead and the IOM TT MA say they are around 30 short of that total for Saturday.
