Right you naughty marshal!

First of all, the BRSCC used to insist you were a club member to marshal the Festival but I believe that has now lapsed.

Speaking of lapsed, so has Mrs Green. My divorce went through last Thursday and so I am now a free man.....

You'll soon learn the difference...

Good taste prevents me from outlining the details here, but as a general guide, listen to the drivers:

Upon attending the incident, ask the drivers how the car is.

If they say " it's fd, then you know it's a Mummy FF......

Rick, not quite true. It was (is?) BRSCC SE centre policy to give priority to those who are SE Centre marshals or BRSCC members from other circuits, for this popular meeting. However, occasional visitors have always been welcomed (particularly if from overseas). In any case, Ireland is treated as overseas, and with the fall in marshalling numbers nationwide in recent years, the policy may well have changed. If anybody is interested in doing this meeting try contacting Alec Spooner, Chief Marshal.

Were you in Public view, in white, or out of the way if you were wearing your 'red things' at the weekend?

I was in orange KayBee, only those close to the startline and paddock were issued white overals. I was stationed at Madgwick for the two days and thoroughly enjoyable it was too!

I'm getting a little worried now that Rick is going to pinch my footwear the next time we meet!!!

(LOL) Sorry, Have I been linked to a marshals fetish site??

I know PVC melts when very hot (friction or otherwise) so perhaps some of the more broad-minded can suggest an alternative?

We may have wandered just a tad off topic here... To the driver who thinks of spending a day on the bank - do it! IMO it should be a requirement for all drivers to spend two days with the marshals, not necessarily in an active capacity, but perhaps as a driver safety observer or something similar? I am absolutely convinced that if a driver had to report on other drivers behaviour, and therefore watched carefully some of the antics that go on, they would modify their driving standards.

Or possibly learn some more bad habits that they hadn't seen before

Seriously though, I agree with you whole heartedly.

In my day, early 1990's, they offered a race signature to any driver doing marshalling for a day, in fact, I remember one meeting at Croix one year where the drivers HAD to marshall otherwise there wouldn't have been any raving because there wasn't enough marshalls on hand and so the drivers made up the numbers

Do they still offer this incentive?
