British GP Volunteering Forms 2004

[Mark Mitchell]

Well!
I got my regional BMMC newsletter yesterday and guess what? NO GP VOLUNTEERING FORM!
There was, however, a membership renewal form for 2004!

[Stephen Green]

I think you will find the national copy will be landing on your door mat in the next week. Not sure if it has the form in it but I expect it will.

Wish I could volunteer for the GP...but as i'm still only a trainee I'm gonna be have to stick to just watching for another year!

[Pete Howarth]

Trackside landed on my door mat this morning, complete with GP volunteering form and membership renewal form

Chezza,

As the MSA are desperatly short of marshals for the GP, why not volunteer anyway.

You might end up as a spectator marshal, but you wont have pay to watch

[Alan Green]

Is it just me not being observant (trainee observer material there then!), or is the bit about applying even if you haven't done the 15 days due to "exceptional circumstances" new on the form for this year?

Chezza, if you've done plenty of meetings this year, and are progressing with getting your grading signatures then try it. Like Mark says, I think it'll be all volunteers considered again for next year.

I got two in the last week, so if anybody's short of one...

Pretty sure I won't be going, though.

[Claire]

Chezza, I would go for it and apply. When I sent my form into the BRSCC last season I was still a trainee although I did have all my signatures, they accepted me so it's worth a try.

>Does anyone know if there's the slightest chance that the BMMC mag might appear soon, with the relevent form included?

BMMC South West region members got their magazine and BGP volunteering form at end of last week, and it's the first time I've ever seen the form. Shame I'm in no fit state to be able to do a GP anymore!

Well, now I have my form and have filled it in (Said I wouldn't but I lied!!) I don't know who to send it to! I've just changed regions (Mids)and don't know who the comp sec is!

Any help?

[mark_l]

Despite having not done a days marshalling this year, I am tempted to send in a volunteering form just to see if I get picked.

[chezza]

Think i've done 15 meetings this year (not sure but think i have) and have filled my grading card so am hoping i might be able to do it...have asked Pam at the BRDCMC so fingers crossed!!

[Piglet]

My understanding is that forms with insufficient days are screened out by the clubs and the MSA - except where there is an accompanying explanation of why the marshal has done insufficient days ie family commitments, work, sickness etc.

Also Chezza - don't forget that it's days that are relevant not meetings.

[chezza]

Well if its days then i think I should be ok...just had a quick count and its about 15 meetings and 20 days and i've still got a couple left this season!

[Piglet]

Sounds like you should be fine then!!

[chezza]

I don't have to pay to watch anyway, I go on my dads guest tickets but hoping I'll be able to marshal it this year!

[Queen]

Am I the lucky one as I have recieved two one from BRDC and one fromm DDMC. I have not done a thing with them yet though I have put them on file.

[Stevespurr]

We recived one form for three of us and we all want to go.
