In 1964 I became a member of the Dursley Motor Cycle and Light Car Club. Somebody at the club told me that there was always a shortage of marshals at Castle Combe. I turned up one race day morning and was told that I would be doing start line; however I would only be needed to grid up the cars in the afternoon, so my job for the morning was to paint the racing numbers on the sides and bonnet of the cars as they arrived for scrutineering! How's about that for a unique introduction to marshalling? PS. In those days nobody wore overalls, we dressed in shirt, collar and tie!
