And this might mean fewer trainees, and that would screw up recruitment and retention, etc., etc.
It is not as simple as it looks and I'm glad I don't have to do it.

i can see your point, but would that mean that the event would have to be staffed by professional people and
not us volunteers??
if that would be the case, i think RIP Motor sport!!
because if the big meets have to go down that route then every meet would have to too, and who's going to pay for them??
(just as a off topic, if drivers etc do sue then we should all stand down every time they take to the track!! well who want to get sued??)
there has been a few suggestions that people who have done X number of lesser meets gets to attend. ok fine i can see the thinking behind that, so who/where is the record of which marshal does what days?? is there a log kept? (not just our cards) i was just wondering??
