Becoming Orange
Just thought I'd say hi
 I was directed over here after a thread I started on Pistonheads.I've been thinking of getting involved in marshaling for a long time and finally decided to sign up for the training day Oulton in Feb. I've already read a lot of your responses to previous newbies, so most of my questions have been answered already! Just looking forward to getting my first taste of what's involved. Do feel ever so slightly nervous though, which is not like me! |

Welcome
If you don't want to wait that long, then perhaps you might consider coming to Mallory Park on boxing day

I can still remember my first training sessions and first day as a marshal. I was pretty nervous too but the people i was with helped me understand what was going on and 6 years later i'm still turning up and still enjoying it as much as ever.

No chance on Boxing Day I'm afraid, my life isn't worth it. Appreciate the warm welcome though Thought of a question! Is there much call for marshals during the week. Maybe at track days or testing? Because I work shifts I get quite a lot of week days off. |

If any of those threads you've read haven't given you the answer to a query, don't be afraid to post up and ask. There's loads of helpful folk on here who'll be back with an answer in no time at all. The best answer I can give about weekday/trackday/testday marshaling is to maybe phone the circuit (Oulton/Anglesey if those are the two you were thinking of) and ask what the score is. There are marshals on here who do the weekday stuff so I'm hoping they'll pop on and help you out. |

Welcome to the world of orange, bluest.
I'll be at the training day in Feb (and my dad is on trainee slot). As others have said the only daft question is the one you don't ask |

Welcome to the mad world of orange (or any other colour worn at other circuits)
As had been said before dont be afraid to ask the questions, it's the best way to check something out before you do it See you at Oulton Park in Feb Richard |
