First timer Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks to the Oulton marshals today for making the loss of my race marshalling virginity a pleasant experience
Thanks to Nadine for stepping in to Cliffs shoes and doing the walk round and to the crew at cascades fro looking after me this afternoon I managed to put a few more faces to soem of the names on here, spotted mark Mitchell at Warwick on the walk round and spoke to Kaybee at the end as well See you all for the GTs Richard |

Tut,tut, obviously Nadine hadn't swotted up on Cliff's script, you won't catch him calling it Warwick Bridge. It is called Bailey Bridge because that is what it is!
If anything it should be called Stanway Bridge!! |

Coming soon to a bookshelf near you, Eric's much awaited book - "how to confuse new marshals".

The bridge that crosses the track between Druids and Lodge is now officially called WARWICK bridge, after the death (At Oulton) of Paul Warwick at Knickerbrook(?)
BAILEY Bridge is actually "What It Is!" (A military thing, I think) Stanway is after LES STANWAY, a BMRMC Marshal who was killed at that spot back in 1982. (As the plaque in the Observers Box says) |

OK I give up now
What was a genuine thanks for the welcome has degenerated into a do you what this bit of track is called today thread But then I knew what I was getting into Also forgot to mention Bluebeard in my first post I have been around OP for long enough ( the other side of the fence) to know some of the history and why some posts are named and why the "road bridge" is called WarwicK Bridge I out for the GTs next weekend so will probably meet some more of the OP regulars then |

LOL. When they tell you 'it's all downhill from here', I bet you didn't expect it to happen so quickly! Welcome to the orange/black/blue/etc side. Have fun.
