Ahh Chezza - you've joined the large club known either as the "just one more" club or the "this is my last one" club. You'll find many many marshals in this club, they are the ones who spend the whole of a GP and a few weeks afterwards saying "never again" but when the forms come out they just can't manage to stay away

Sadly, with time pressures from work, I find myself on the slippery slope towards the club myself - I'm going to do "just one more" and then see how I feel

Piglet · 3 Oct 2006, 07:08 (Ref:1725951)

Deano, I'd apply and ensure that you put a covering letter with your application explaining the situation. Ask that your application is passed to the chief for your discipline with your letter explaining the situation. It can also be helpful to make contact with your chief so that they know to look out for it.

Dean Watson · 3 Oct 2006, 10:12 (Ref:1726176)

Thanks piglet looks like i will have to learn to write properly and apply with the letter.

Does anybody know if there is there any clarity or ongoing work to clarify the amount of access the guest tickets will be next year. This year some 'guests' where able to gain access to the 'Bronze Ticket' spectator areas whereas others where turned away??? Not very helpful when your marshaling woodcote area and your guest can't get near with refreshments etc.

Mike Kelly 1 · 4 Oct 2006, 19:53 (Ref:1727986)

From what information I gained at this years GP, they "hope" that all the guest tickets for next year will have centre access as per the 2005 GP.

ChrisA · 4 Oct 2006, 20:09 (Ref:1728003)

At sign on this year centre access passes were available to all, thanks to Chris Hobson.

Micky.H · 5 Oct 2006, 01:09 (Ref:1728225)

Its not the centre access that was an issue, it was that the 'normal spectator terracing' that used to be open to all became a 'Bronze Ticket Access Only' this year (caused a lot of aggro for those spectators that have been coming years and expected the same spot!), some marshals guests where allowed in one gate where others where turned away at the gate at the opposite end. Just so I know if I need to purchase a ticket for Cheryl??

Micky.H · 18 Oct 2006, 17:00 (Ref:1741389)

Well thats the form filled in.

Chris Hobson · 18 Oct 2006, 17:05 (Ref:1741394)

When I send in the volunteering forms I will ask the MSA to clarify the guest pass situation and detail what access they will give

I know i should, but after all these years and 4 Gps i still have trouble filling in the form as to what cat a meeting was - ie Nat A/B, International,national is there any simple rule to finding this out,

Should be in the programme if you kept them
Combe are normally Nat B,Silverstone Historic Festival for instance was Nat A/Nat B and the FIA GT's were International

Nighthawk · 18 Oct 2006, 18:37 (Ref:1741441)

No dont always keep programs.
I think i will get most
DTM, WTC, Gp Masters all international ?

Would have thought so,didn't do DTM or WTCC and couldn't find any information in the Masters programme (if you can call it one

)
Incidentally,24Hr Britcar was down as Nat B if that helps

This was later changed by bulletin to Nat A/Nat B
Yours Roy

Piglet · 18 Oct 2006, 19:43 (Ref:1741493)

DTM, WTCC were both "international" - I'd imagine GP Masters was the same.

Nighthawk · 19 Oct 2006, 07:38 (Ref:1741848)

great help thanks everyone. how about the trucks at thruxton.

HGV!

CombeMarshal · 20 Oct 2006, 18:50 (Ref:1743442)

Right, I'm working on mine now, What is the proposing club, Would it in my case be Castle Combe Racing Club??
And what class was the F3/Gt Meeting at brands and what is the organising club for the F3/Gt's???]

Cheers, Lee

Nighthawk · 20 Oct 2006, 18:51 (Ref:1743444)

HGV1
No comments please Lee,
Hows the tent doing.

Nighthawk · 20 Oct 2006, 18:53 (Ref:1743446)

If you gonna hand back to Adrian then CCRC is the proposing club.
F3/GT i think was BRSCC / /national

CombeMarshal · 20 Oct 2006, 19:04 (Ref:1743454)

Cheers for that!
I'm getting good at the Tent lark now, Got me a super delux air bed too, Shame Rigging it up to the Turbo on my car didn't inflate it!!!
Might treat my self to a bigger one for Christmas

CombeMarshal · 20 Oct 2006, 19:05 (Ref:1743455)

I was going to Post it to Chris Hobson though, I'm sure I'm a member of the BMMC too!

Firefox · 20 Oct 2006, 20:33 (Ref:1743543)

BRSCC list the different categories for the meeting in their final instructions, BARC list some alongside the calendar, Boxing Day Mallory is National B.

I don't think it matters that much as I'm sure I don't get them all right and they've asked me back for the last 25 years. And No this probably won't be my last, unless I can really upset them of course.
