new probans for a trianee marshal

[gravel_monkey]

hi guys, as i mentioned in the anglesey post i have 2 friends who are both trainees, the only problem we have is that one of the guys is at the moment on jobseekers allowance having been made redundant a few weeks ago. he wants to start marshalling as much as he can this year and plans to attend most of the oulton and anglesey events plus a few at mallory, the problem is money, i am taking him to and from the events and also i am paying for his bmmc membership so he can get his grading cards but a set of probans is over a months worth of his money and as much of a mate he is i cant just throw, in all with his membership £60 away.
i asked allistair for some advice which i will follow up on sunday at anglesey ( nadine aka marshalgirl look out because i have been asked to see you) but does anyone either have any ideas or even an old set of probans we can get or buy off you?
