Joemurray93 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
As a recent recruit myself, id say save the money and get a good set of Proban fireproof overalls. If you buy a cheap set now you'll only want a better set soon enough.

You'd probably be best doing the remainder of this season in 'normal clothes' and a tabbard. If you're looking to save as much as possible, wait until the start of next year and join the BMMC, then get the overall discount. saves paying the £20 for the rest of this year. Jeans etc should be fine for now, as a trainee we dont tend to get too close to fires!

I spent £30 on waterproof jacket and trousers from screwfix as i needed them last minute (dont really have any weatherproof gear other than that), but i imagine you could do much better than that on ebay.


Hope this may be of some help, and if you have any other questions, as a new marshal myself, id be happy to try to answer any questions you might consider silly (like i had!)
