Marshals volunteering

Chigley · 15 Apr 2011, 16:26 (Ref:2863841)

Julian and those involved in sending tickets out from Marshals.org online volunteering.

I volunteered late for the F2 meet this weekend at Silverstone and no tickets have arrived to date. I actually put the online request in via Marshals.org MSVR Silverstone 2011 application on Saturday.
My question is how long does it take for the online process to reach those who send the tickets out and therefore what is the cutoff period before an event that the Marshals.org process has a fighting chance of getting tickets to a late application.

Thanks,
Ian

Ian I am sure that you could still marshal the event. Turn up at the gate in your overalls and they will let you in. I guess sign on is 7.30 in the usual place.

You'd be welcomed with opened arms Ian, are you sorted now? If not I'll pm you my mobile number in case you have any probs.

I think you are just raising the question though rather than worrying about tomorrow and it's an interesting point.

From Penny's email:

looking forward to my medical inspection - nurses with rubber gloves presumably? Good to know that MSVR care that much about marshals' wellbeing!

Having been on the receiving end of the odd volunteer, they seem to come in almost straight away. That depends on the receiver checking their mail regularly, of course.

When I say 'odd volunteer' I mean... okay, you may have a point.

Is anyone else having problems getting tickets after volunteering through Julian's website? I've volunteered for two MSVR and one HSCC meeting and have had problems getting the tickets in that I've had to chase them up with under a week to go before the event. ?

Yes - MSVR at Oulton (F3/GT).

Just assumed I'd volunteered too late - maybe it's a "computer says no" problem instead

Yes, almost all of my volunteering didn't appear to work and I only found out when Mildred emailed me to ask if I was doing any MSVR this year, in fact the only volunteering that has worked was for MGCC, all the others including 750 didn't, and I checked with Julian and he has no record of any of the others, and I know I spent the whole evening doing them!

I have now emailed some clubs direct just to make sure they have all my details

Julian · 21 May 2011, 22:32 (Ref:2883672)

Hello all,
I dont look at this site on a regular basis so I had missed this thread.
I am not aware of any problems but if there are any please email me or pm on this site as I need your full names or email address to check things.
Ian - the only form that I have seen from you is for HSCC at Brands.
There were a few days in April when my web host had a problem but I didnt think anything was lost but it is always possible.
Form submissions are well up on last year and I have not seen bounce messages from Clubs so I suspect that any break in service was very brief and things are working correctly now.
Thanks,
Julian

In the past i've only used the site for the comprehensive events list, this year I used it to volunteer for the first time, but only for MSVR events. On both occasions so far this year i've had the tickets ok but have not been down on the list when i've got to sign on!

No major problem and can't be a direct fault of the site if i've got tickets

**Woolley** · 23 May 2011, 20:33 (Ref:2884735)

It seems to be just Oulton - didn't have passes for any meeting last year, and the one I volunteered for this year I wasn't on the list either. I've volunteered for other meetings via Julian's excellent site and never had a problem otherwise.

Sorry Chris it's not just Oulton; my meetings were at Brands and Silverstone.

**Woolley** · 24 May 2011, 13:11 (Ref:2885168)

OK. In my case it was just Oulton, which suggests the problem isn't with Julian's site so much as with whoever is receiving the e-mails. I've also received volunteers through the site so I know it works.
