Everyone sat is rapt attention as local man Mervyn Whyte and organisers
spoke of the fascinating history of the North West, significant milestones,
the associated logistics, the 800 required volunteers, the 300 page safety
manual and costs.
Mervyn regaled us all with stories from the NW200’s history, while Gerard
McAuley spoke about the safety aspect of running the event and the
challenges of his first year as Operations Director. Cathal Cunning
emphasised the thrill of getting involved in an international event as a
volunteer, some of the many tasks and skills required coupled with the
opportunities to get up close and personal to the racing teams while John
Creighton spoke of the communications logistics.
William Semple, Club Chair concluded the evening by thanking the team for
taking the time to come and talk to the club and said “the NW200 brings joy
and excitement to many and as evidenced tonight it would not be possible
without the hard work, dedication and commitment of many people, many of
who are volunteers.”
