ok got an e-mail from mildred, asked about photos for passes then told her I couldn't make it but now i can. Have emailed but not heard anything back. Is there a phone number i could call

garybirch · 14 Apr 2007, 06:21 (Ref:1890849)

mildred usually answers her e-mail very quickly.
I've been in contact with here twice this week.
Try again: mildred@brscc.co.uk

Just a word of warning, unless you can do 2 or more days, it is unlikely you will be asked to help out. This is because the meeting is heavily over subscribed for marshals.

**Stephen Green** · 14 Apr 2007, 10:05 (Ref:1890940)

Mildred has asked me to let you know that she posted passes and sign on times yesterday, so they should be with you either today or Monday (Mine arrived this morning)

garybirch · 14 Apr 2007, 14:48 (Ref:1891112)

Received my passes today.

Question: is camping in the usual place?

Stephen: remember you said you'd have some BMMC / VIM material available for me to take to the Haynes Motor Muesum?

Friday is probably the best day to volunteer for, if not down already,. Friday (!!); GP Circuit (!!!)

That sounds worrying! How comes? What is wrong with fridays?

I think I only voluntered for sat + sunday because I fully intend to spend friday on a beech somewhere...but it doesn't say on the stuff that they sent me which days i'm down for :-(

What are MSVR events like at Brands? I've only done BRSCC/BARC ones so far (so far so good :-)) but a couple of weeks ago at the BTCC meeting a few of the marshals were a bit vocal in expressing their disdain for the MSVR meetings last year! It does seem quite a busy day, but with 15-odd minute gaps between sessions.

What are the best posts to be on for the grand prix circuit? I've never been on the full one before!

Oh well...i'm excited anyway. lol.

Personally, never had a problem with MSVR meetings though, I hasten to point out that I wasn't at the WTCC or the DTM meetings last year. I believe, and no doubt I may be corrected, that there were a few problems at the WTCC event, but the weather was appauling.
Hawthorns is a great place to be, if the weather is good. Was there for the HSCC meeting last year. Watching them coming up the straight towards you is a great site. Bring plenty of sun protection though because you're pretty exposed.

**Stephen Green** · 15 Apr 2007, 10:17 (Ref:1891666)

Well, see you at sign on then. David and I will be signing you on each day.

White flag man · 15 Apr 2007, 10:22 (Ref:1891671)

Look forward to it.
So you won't be priest catching at the marathon then!

Piglet · 15 Apr 2007, 11:59 (Ref:1891785)

No problem with Fridays except that most people still work on Friday's hence the lack of warm bodies....

White flag man · 15 Apr 2007, 12:03 (Ref:1891787)

You could always take the day off sick Piglet.

I'm using my last day's holiday of the year for it!

White flag man · 15 Apr 2007, 13:49 (Ref:1891917)

Pure dedication!

It gets worse - I buy 5 days extra holiday a year which is the amount I use for Motorsport - now I know what my hobby costs me - I try not to think about it too often

edited to add that's marshalling Motorsport - most of the rest of it is spent at race tracks in one shape or form (Le Mans, Spa etc!) but those are jollies!

Mike Kelly 1 · 15 Apr 2007, 15:54 (Ref:1892052)

Thankfully, my employer has a flexi time system so I have built up enough time to leave work at 1pm on the thursday in order to drive down and marshal the Friday as well. Got my stickers for the photopass yesterday and really looking forward to getting down to Brands again (after only a few weeks since my last visit- BTCC)

Lets hope the weather is as good as yesterdays meeting at Oulton. Scorcheo!

You spend Fridays sat up trees?

adstubbs · 15 Apr 2007, 18:36 (Ref:1892251)

Volunteered for Sat and Sun way back when the lists first came out, but now find I will be travelling back from Paris on the Friday night, not getting back home till probably about 11pm (work, not pleasure). Hope I can manage to get myself up on the Saturday morning, really don't want to miss this one!

Nighthawk · 16 Apr 2007, 07:31 (Ref:1892717)

I think i only put down for Sat+Sun but i can now do the fri so be down on camp site thursday afternoon.

EvilPumpkin · 16 Apr 2007, 07:44 (Ref:1892725)

Good idea but I never know who is who when it comes to real life!

Can everyone have a Ten Tenths badge on or something....or a red rose and holding a newspaper...

Ok, but there's normally quite a few people walking about talking to themselves!!

I've got a silver BMW 318i touring and a little blue tent if anyone sees me out and wants to come over for a beer.

gravel_monkey · 16 Apr 2007, 10:35 (Ref:1892825)

iam in the battered little blue micra! knowing me it will take 2 days to put the tent up and i will just sleep in the car!

gc1arke · 16 Apr 2007, 11:45 (Ref:1892865)

Hi,
I'm down with my brothers for Saturday and Sunday (getting down on Friday night). We have a red Astra and big green tent. Certainly up for a beer or two or three . . .
