As the sample for this survey was mainly from our rally colleagues, how do the results compare with what has already been discussed on these pages?

I got the same publication through the post last night, gave it a cursory glance, wondered what the hell it was supposed to achieve and binned it!

Teletubby · 5 Nov 2002, 14:20 (Ref:422181)

It used to be 'Rescue and Resuscitation' but has widened it's audience to all Marshals. I think in some ways it has been an improvement but in others it's diluted the content and I suspect that quite a few people will have similar feelings. Me? Well i'm sad enough to have read it and thought that most of it was quite interesting.

TwoSheds · 5 Nov 2002, 14:35 (Ref:422189)

Got my copy yesterday.

This is the second issue I've received. With the first one I got a covering letter explaining the aims of the publication and the idea behind sending it to marshals as well as medical and rescue personnel.

EvilPumpkin · 5 Nov 2002, 15:05 (Ref:422199)

Where does one get a copy of such a document?

Stephen - strange - I did exactly the same thing.....!

EvilPumpkin · 5 Nov 2002, 16:56 (Ref:422271)

ooh the motorsport safety fund - must get in their mailing list actually - particularly as the ubiquitous MagnetON is going to be starring in their next training vid!

Stoowert · 5 Nov 2002, 17:06 (Ref:422280)

Got it, Read it! Laughed! Binned it!
I think we ought to press for annoraks to be outlawed. Thereby, forcing the circuits to construct proper marshal's huts that actually DO something!
I thought an arrestor bed was a copper's put-you-up!

pinki · 5 Nov 2002, 18:25 (Ref:422346)

I read through it and thought ..... mmmm, why don't they actually put something in there worth reading and then filed it with my GP application

I got this far, read the article out to my wife, and then gave as I was p***ing myself.

However, there is a bit of a more serious side to it, and whilst I(we) may mock this article, it's nice to have a little insight into the medical side of marshalling.

And it did contain details of the BMMC 2003 training dates.

Richard Sneader · 5 Nov 2002, 19:08 (Ref:422397)

I recieved my copy as well. I do have an interest in the medical side but alot of it was!. I did notice on the training day list there was no IO training for 2003 anywere.

Let's not be too harsh - at least someone's remembered we're there and got in touch. Some of it was fun - the first aid bit was a good laugh - and most of it seems to be rally orientated, but at least it's some communication. If you don't like the content or have some suggestions, give them some feedback, and who knows, it might just turn into what we do need?

ss_collins · 6 Nov 2002, 01:43 (Ref:422671)

As a fairly frequent rally marshal - I'm wondering how many of the other regular yellow tabard wearers in my club have got a copy? Cos I havn't and I'm on the club comittee.

**Stephen Green** · 6 Nov 2002, 08:05 (Ref:422759)

I noticed that one of the editors was Dr Andy Mallins. Is that 'the' Andy Mallins of Brands and Post 3 fame?

Wooley that's a good idea, if we don't give feed back then the organisers of the publication can't change it to suit the majority. Shame I binned mine now *frowns*

EvilPumpkin · 6 Nov 2002, 08:43 (Ref:422773)

Well Teletubby is sending me a copy - and I'll pass it round the rest of the Oirish reprobates!

Thanks TT

Teletubby · 6 Nov 2002, 09:44 (Ref:422805)

No charge, it went in the post last night!

Stoowert · 6 Nov 2002, 17:37 (Ref:423099)

It can't be THE Andy Mallins, he would have told me about it's publication about 20 times beforehand. Besides, he's not a doctor, he's a Professor in Annorakology at the Univercity of Broadmoor.

OI, that should be MRS Brand!

Ian Smith · 6 Nov 2002, 20:52 (Ref:423241)

Did anyone notice the application for Tickets to the MSF Watkins Lecture at the bottom of Page 11.
This should be worth a visit for anyone who can make it.

DarrellB · 6 Nov 2002, 21:42 (Ref:423300)

I think most of this will be of relevance to rescue crew and doctors for which it was initially intended and the idea of sending it to all MSA licenced marshals was to get everyone more involved. This is only the second edition meant for all and still seems to be more suited to rescue.

like Teletubby I must be quite sad because I too have read it.....But obviously not in so much detail as Gonfra

EvilPumpkin · 8 Nov 2002, 17:01 (Ref:424707)

Got it

Thanks Teletubby

rick vaux · 8 Nov 2002, 20:10 (Ref:424804)

Why don`t they save the money from this publication, send it only to the relevent people, with money saved, use it to constuct masive bonfire, so relevent people can bring it along to field with said bonfire, and burn their copy on it......
Makes about as much sense as publication.....

Were they taking the mick, regarding anoraks, or have i missed the plot here ?

Dave Brand · 9 Nov 2002, 12:22 (Ref:425080)

I'm puzzled by some of the comments in this thread. Here we have an organisation dedicated to safety in motor sport, which produces some excellent material,such as the 'Pocket Guide to Marshalling', videos, etc., & which has decided to widen the scope of its magazine to include all marshals, not just rescue units, paramedics & the like, only to be met with apathy &, worse, ridicule.

Read it, folks, you may learn something which will help you perform your duties more effectively; even if you don't, it's cost you nothing but a few minutes of your time.

Brushpusher · 9 Nov 2002, 18:58 (Ref:425225)

I would do Dave but haven't received a copy yet.
