Marshals Required 28-30 May - Snetterton 24 hour 2CV - Page 2

Andrew Palmer · 25 May 2005, 10:32 (Ref:1309695)

As this meeting is less than a week away how are the marshalling numbers going Pete?

lucypumablue · 25 May 2005, 15:05 (Ref:1309959)

Anybody else going up friday for said hog roast?

Andrew Palmer · 25 May 2005, 15:30 (Ref:1309976)

I'll there Friday night for the weekend.

Any body got any idea what time the hog roast is?

2CV Racer · 25 May 2005, 16:52 (Ref:1310042)

At the very earliest it will be after the days testing .... beyond that I couldn't say.

There will also be an auction in aid of Great Ormond St Childrens Hospital during or after the BBQ.

Gridlock · 25 May 2005, 17:59 (Ref:1310078)

I should be there on Friday Night. Looking forward to seeing you there.
Are you doing the Cooking Andrew?

Andrew Palmer · 25 May 2005, 18:29 (Ref:1310106)

Luckly for you Gridlock no to the cooking.

I only cook at private parties during MG meetings for the prisedents table or for anyone awake before 12 hours of Lawn Mower racing.

Peter Harding · 25 May 2005, 18:30 (Ref:1310108)

It would be silly to suggest that numbers are good, but it's similar to last year and more are doing the whole run rather than individual days. That should make the nights easier.
Shifts in the start/pits should match those on the bank which will make socialising easier.
I will be up on Friday, so will see most of you then.

Gridlock · 25 May 2005, 18:41 (Ref:1310112)

What about cooking for the Jonny Herbert Suite at the MG meeting this year? Sorry but you cant be relied on to cook at the lawn mowers as you go to sleep on the job and you couldnt even keep the chief marshal awake???????

The 2CV website also mentions a Karaoke...
I'll think of a tune before I get there. Should clear everyone at the end of the night

See you Friday those who are going to be there

Alan Green · 25 May 2005, 19:56 (Ref:1310170)

Just had to return tickets for this weekend, financial restrictions unfortunately can't justify the Land Rover going to Snetterton (best part of £80-£100 in fuel, and it's money I can't spare). The joys of running a cassic car

Sorry Pete.

Have fun everyone.
Al.

Have you got photographic prove of that last statement.

Gridlock · 26 May 2005, 17:05 (Ref:1310855)

Hi Andrew.
Yes I do have Photographic evidence that shows just how alert senior officials need to be at Lawn Mower Racing. Will have CD for you.

GT3 · 28 May 2005, 19:53 (Ref:1312802)

Hi

I know this is a last minute thing, but after getting over the cold i've had all week I've decided to give the 24hr a go, so.................

Does anybody know what the sign-on time for Marshals tomorrow is by any chance, I was given a spare ticket because i didn't originally volunteer to go!?

Thanks

Steve (GT3)

**Asp** · 31 May 2005, 11:43 (Ref:1315621)

I think I've just about recovered from the weekend - a really well-run meeting. The marshals may have been a little short, but Race Control knew that and didn't expect too much from us.
Big thanks also the the 2CV drivers for the invite to the Hog Roast on Friday; and especially to Pete Sparrow for giving the group of us sat in Tyrells after the race a bottle of bubbly to say thanks - much appreciated. And, of course, well done Tete Rogue!

Thanks also to the Caterham Graduates for some great racing - very interesting to see the onboard of the incident at Riches in the Mega's on Sunday after dealing with it.
Good to catch up with a good selection of tenthers too, here's hoping that we can still have a race next year

bluebeard · 31 May 2005, 11:55 (Ref:1315647)

I've recovered too, fraid I didnt stay after 24hr race finished, hit the road for a long trip home + luckily little or no traffic! BIG thanks to all, really enjoyed weekend & hope to see you all again somewhere, nice to put some faces to the 10-10thers on here

**Asp** · 31 May 2005, 12:16 (Ref:1315688)

Just one more thanks I forgot to mention - to MSV for the Marshal's Hospitality Tent and bus. A very nice facility to go to between shifts

peter195001 · 31 May 2005, 19:24 (Ref:1316122)

thanks also from me MSV,had game sunday evening how many upper deck watching the tv,TOP GEAR. started with 6 ended up with 12. nice to also meet MORE ten tenther,s worrying how many that i did not khow were there,.

peter

Terry Scannell · 31 May 2005, 19:38 (Ref:1316137)

To reinforce Asp's comments re bubbly; Many thanks to Pete & Tete Rouge and all the 2CV drivers and team members in Tyrrell's after the event for the bottle of bubbly that they very kindly passed over to our table as a thank you.

After Asp and Pete Harding left, the 2CV guys, without our knowledge, passed the trophy around Tyrrell's and then came over to us and emptied the contents onto our table and said that it was a small gesture in recognition of all the marshal's efforts over the weekend and have a drink on them. The contents totalled £160.00 !!! They said we could use it as we wish. What a brilliant thought and it was really appreciated by our crew.

But as Snet marshals couldn't have run the event without the help of so many visiting marshals we have decided that it is only fair to donate the money to the Motorsport Safety Fund unless anyone has any major objections.

Many thanks to Pete Harding, Mike Whitney and all the BARC team for a really enjoyable and well run 2CV 24hrs - certainly the most enjoyable so far! - hope you've all managed to catch up on some sleep. Here's to the next one, at Snet I hope?

Also thanks to Richard, Terry and Harry for their help on my shifts, together with that of our regular crew which made the hours seem to pass very quicky. Harry, glad to see you got back ok with little in the way of hold ups - hope to see you at Snet again soon!

Likewise, thanks to MSV for the use of the hospitality unit, Pete, I agree that the session we had up there watching TopGear with you all was great fun, and being able to top up on the caffine injections between shifts certainly kept me awake.

PS Pete I haven't forgotten about Project X, hopefully I'll have time to e-mail you tomorrow!

Andrew Palmer · 31 May 2005, 22:25 (Ref:1316276)

Thank you MSV for the drying out area after the little rain showers we had.

So nice to meet so many Ten-Tenthers in one place, I can now put more faces to names. Great weekend roll on next year.

bluebeard · 1 Jun 2005, 11:26 (Ref:1316675)

Didnt realise the bus/marquee was provided by MSV so my thanks to them as well, excellent idea for the money donated Terry, I agree 100%. nice to meet you and work with you & hope to catch you again somewhere soon.
Cheers

Harry

For those who are interested there are,photos,reports,and results on the 2CV Racing website.What a superb weekend!Now back to reality after leisurely trip home on Tuesday.We slept so well at Travelodge near Mildenhall on Monday night that Anne and I missed the Golf being parked inside a Traffic sign.Watching the recovery on Tuesday am was interesting!!It took Four police Cars to block of the A11 and side roads and one recovery vehicle!Nowhere near as efficient or effective as we Volunteers.Hope to see you all again next year wherever the 24hr Race is held.

peter195001 · 1 Jun 2005, 17:48 (Ref:1317148)
