Organisers of this years Wales Rally GB being held between 27 and 30 October are offering 100 volunteers a uniquew opportunity to be part of a major World Championship motor sport showpiece.

Britain’s award-winning round of the FIA World Rally Championship is expanding its widely-praised ‘Rally Makers’ initiative.

First introduced four years ago after the huge success of the Games Makers at the 2012 London Olympics, Rally Makers offer information and support to both spectators and officials during the four days of the north Wales-based event.

Not to be confused with the thousands of trackside sporting marshals who assist with the competitive action, Rally Makers in their special red tabards are firmly focused on ensuring customers enjoy nothing less than a memorable experience.

Their roles vary from handing out information flyers at the central Rally Village in Deeside to directing fans to the best possible spectating spots at Saturday’s family-friendly RallyFest at Cholmondeley Castle.

All Rally Makers will be fully-briefed in advance and will be invited to attend a half-day training programme ahead of the event.

“It’s not often that you get the chance to be part of a major team and gain first-hand experience of working at a full-on World Championship sporting attraction,” said Alun Pritchard, Partnership Manager.

We are mainly recruiting from universities and other organisations in the region, but anyone can apply.

We will be acknowledging Rally Makers attending the training session with an official certificate and providing all of them with an item of Dayinsure Wales Rally GB merchandise as a memento of their involvement.”

All those willing, able and keen to get involved should waste no time contacting Alun directly, via email: apritchard@walesrallygb.com
