and even those who were at post 18! Thanks John.

I did a taster day on Sunday on P5 with Don & Co. After years of going to brands as "just" a spectator, it was great to experience what life as a marshal is like. I had an excellent day, made all the better with guidance I had from Don and John. Started the day, having never waved a flag - by the end, I had waved or held all of them in qualifying or race.

Pleased to say the application has been sent off and fingers crossed, I will be back at Brands soon!

Welcome to the world of the orange people .... always nice to hear from new marshals and great to see that you enjoyed the day and were able to get stuck in on flags.

If you can do any of this weekend (4-5 June) then get in touch with Mildred (PM me if you need details) as I would imagine you would be most welcome ......

I had a trip to Brands on Monday to do something strange... buy a ticket on the gate, and spectate. I haven't done that since I started marshalling!
Some good came of it though - I managed to get round the entire circuit bar the stretch inside from Hawthorne to Westfield. You lads and lasses on post looked fairly busy at some points, but all those I managed to speak to seemed to be having a good day

I don't know who it was got caught out by the stalled Mustang on the inside of Druids on Monday though. After waiting ages for a gap, someone ran across from the outside... at the same time as the driver got it running and into gear again. I know I hate it when that happens but the car was in a pretty unusual position and the folks from down the hill on 4 wouldn't have been able to see it. Most unusually I got the whole sequence on camera from the moment the driver lost control to him driving off; if anyone wants to see them they're on my Flickr page.
