2012 British GP volunteering
Before the deluge starts......................................
I have asked the MSA when the volunteering forms will be available. They hope within the next two weeks (i.e. by early October). You will need to return them to the MSA by the end of November. As soon as I receive them I will post a notice here and we will put the BMMC ones on our website togther with a more detailed timetable for responses.. As usual you need to volunteer through your main organising club - they should receive the forms at the same time as myself. Any queries please ask (said he opening the floodgates again!) |

Hi Chris,
I am sure I will be one of many to have a question or two, I upgraded in July and Have not yet received anything back from the MSA so would I still be able to apply ? Also is the 12 events after the upgrade or throughout this year ? Many Thanks Rich |

The link to last years thread is here http://tentenths.com/forum/showthrea...h+volunteering
Might be some useful info on there including details of permit types of various meetings. |

The 12 sigs are for over the calendar year.
Apply for the GP - we should have your upgrade through well in time |

Remember you can only apply for a role that you have a valid registration for.
You cannot just say "I want to be in the pit lane" unless you have a specialist grade. |

Apply for the one you've done the most days in. There's no point in asking to do, say, flags if you've done (or will do) less than 12 days when you've got enough in something else.

I put in for flags, 'cus that's what I'm best at (despite failing to notice Mr Kobayashi's little off on the Friday this year ), and 'cus incident seems to be more over-subscribed.

I'm guessing that the GP is 13th - 15th July as the Silverstone website are still showing 6th - 8th July.

Chris, I'm presuming this is an event for which you're regularly oversubscribed! Problem is for us that until early next year, we can't guarantee availability and I'd hate to apply, (hypothetically) get selected over someone else, and then have to pull out. Unfair to everyone.
If we didn't put in an application until early next year, would that mean we'd be out of the running completely for consideration? |

I am afraid all volunteers have to be in by the dealine of end november - the selection meeting is then held early in the new year.
If you want to volunteer, then please do so - the MSA always holds a reserve list in case of any no-shows. |

Chris, is the 12 days marshalling (In the previous season) strictly adhered to?
I ask because over the last 3 years or so my marshalling activities have been somewhat restricted due to family illnesses and work committments. I am available for the dates of the 2012 BGP and just wondered if mitigating circumstances would be considered? Thanks |

a lot of people are unsuccesful even when they have 40 days flagging! good you tried 13 days is still anywhere from 7-13 weekends (inc single day meets) which is still a lot, presume you are back up to the amount you want to do? hope you get '12

You will need the full 12 sigs in the discipline for which you are volunteering - if you have fewer than that I have to send your form in separately and you will only be considered if they are short of volunteers in your discipline.
Sorry |

2012 GP
Can that include a certain amount as a trainee even though trainee/novices aren't accepted or is it 12 above a trainee ?
PS I'm not even applying no point Charlotte |

As a deputy chief flag marshal for the British Grand Prix I can assure you that any marshal that has done 40 flag days has never been refused to my knowledge.. Unless of course you can prove me wrong.. We try to treat every application in the same fair way and comments like yours above are very negative .. Roy S |

lifted from the form is pretty clear - 12+ in the duty, but must have been graded by the time you apply. Of course if heavily oversubscribed that might be a differentiator?
Application may only be made for one of the above categories and this should be your normal graded role. (Note the Pit and Startline groups have been merged for 2012). You must have marshalled at least 12 days in your nominated duty to be considered for selection. Applications will not be accepted from marshals who have trainee status at the time of application. |
