Hi all

I marshalled at the lemans last year with some friends but this year im doing it on my own, i was just wondering what happens at night in terms of bbq/parties etc, im not a silvertone marshal so dont think i can get into their hog roast do.

Thanks in advance.

ill be doing this, i wanted to do the friday but im needed for the start of the new academic year, i guess...!
dont think im registered to do it yet though as i can remember something went unusually dodgy with something. ill have to check pretty soon though

Matt Hunter · 23 Aug 2011, 21:09 (Ref:2944829)

We'll be up all three days, though I'm speccing on the Sunday and ought to be hanging out witha few friends.
Really looking forward to this race, was a shame to miss it last year. Fingers crossed Ant Davidson is fit to race after his little accident

hellblade · 24 Aug 2011, 11:05 (Ref:2945064)

yeah it was a pretty good race last year, i was in the pits - now that was fun.

Im defiantly doing sat/sun and hoping to do friday as well,

What hog roast??? I AM a silverstone marshal and all I've heard is there will be a free drink in the bar on Saturday night. The free drink vouchers are for all marshals and it's good to sit down and have a beer with people you maybe don't see very often.

I think there is a "summer" BBQ or something planned for F3/GT weekend but don't quote me on that.

Not aware of anything official, but it's not unusual for there to be a gathering in the middle of the campsite. On one occasion we were surprised to discover that almost 50% of the gatherers were moderators on here, but few of us actually knew the others in real life before then.

LOL Northampton/Southampton?

We were hoping to go but it's looking very likely that we won't be able to make it (yet again!).

Awww I miss those campsite gatherings! Have a good one.

MotorBreath · 25 Aug 2011, 13:59 (Ref:2945666)

I'll be doing Saturday & Sunday. My wife will be bringing my 73 yr old mother on the Saturday... Bless her

. I used to take her to F1 testing a few years ago... She loves her racing!

nate93 · 25 Aug 2011, 14:39 (Ref:2945687)

Im speccing the entire weekend of this one - rare that i get to go to silverstone, looking forward to it.

Are you not playing? Shame.

mikenunn-78 · 25 Aug 2011, 14:55 (Ref:2945699)

First and only spectator event of the year..... time to get my camera out!

Terrible-Tones · 25 Aug 2011, 16:16 (Ref:2945751)

Incident for me on Fri,

Startline for us both on Sat and Sun

chezza · 25 Aug 2011, 18:22 (Ref:2945825)

I'm not no, I have to be at Lydden that weekend.

chezza · 25 Aug 2011, 19:13 (Ref:2945858)

Lol...that would be the evening! We even had future mods at that gathering.

Bodger · 25 Aug 2011, 20:08 (Ref:2945882)

I will be there for sat and sun. Looking forward to this meeting as I missed it last year.

It was such a good night I didn't even remember meeting some of them afterwards.

jon_c · 28 Aug 2011, 16:30 (Ref:2947259)

Hi all this is my first year of marshaling and loving it the Le man will be my 7th event.
I will be there sat & sun and will be camping sat night so if some one could leave me a big gap in the camp site for my massive tent then i will be grateful.
cheers Jon

I seem to remember there being a big hole in the field that I kept falling in, again and again and again....

chriskench · 8 Sep 2011, 19:55 (Ref:2952905)

hi does anyone know the sign on times might put up to do one day thanks

nate93 · 8 Sep 2011, 20:05 (Ref:2952909)

Email from Penny said 7:15 to 8.

Someone will correct me if im wrong!

kayels · 9 Sep 2011, 20:56 (Ref:2953342)

Hi all

I'm supposed to be in the pits tomorrow but I've had some bad news about a family member this evening & need to get up to York to say my last goodbyes

Who should I contact to let them know I can't make it? Normally I would have emailed Penny but I guess its a bit too short notice to do that. Does she have a mobile I can text? Or is there someone else that I should contact?

Sorry for daft questions but I get sign on details emailed to work & I've made a note of sign on time rather than printing the email off. I'll put the details in my phone book in future!

Steven Humphrey · 28 Aug 2011, 18:17 (Ref:2947299)

Probably my favourite meeting of the year-I'm doing incident Saturday & Sunday. Nice to see there's the F3 Euroseries there as well as the excellent CER. Oh, and Speed........

Wow there's some quite big names in the Speed series then. I'll be following #15 throughout the weekend then!
Itching to get to this one. Probably going to be the highlight meeting of the year for me. (Can't imagine Britcar will be dry afterall!)
