North West Marshal's Training

[flying muppet]

Hi Guys, and Happy New Year;

As you may know, the North West marshal’s annual training will take place at Oulton Park over the weekend of 4 & 5 February.

It’s probably fair to say that the relationship between the NW marshals and drivers in the NWFF series is particularly good; barbeques and beers at Anglesey are just one example.

Therefore would any of you guys be willing to help me out with the training? On Saturday 4th, I am holding a drivers & marshals forum, in which I plan to 'talk' ourselves round the circuit with photos taken from the circuit beside each flag point. We can therefore discuss exactly how visible (or not) the flag points are for you guys, and where you might be looking at each piece of circuit. I would anticipate that the forum might then discuss other relevant (or irrelevant) issues.

On Sunday 5th, I am looking for a couple of race cars, ideally with drivers, so that marshals can be shown around the cars in detail, paying particular attention to the safety features (electrical cut off, fire extinguisher, ignition switch, harness release etc, etc).

I’ve got some volunteers already, but the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. If you are interested in assisting on either day, please could you PM me or drop me a line on: bmmcnorthtrng@tesco.net.

Thanks very much in advance…
