I note your comments and will have a look at the website as soon as possible.

With Sue not taking reciepts at the moment, who is the best person to send mine too as just purchased a pair of proban. cheers

I believe Sue is now handling it again

Yep all sorted thanks.

To assist with your subsidy claims for overalls and Hi-Vis Jackets, Sue Whitlock has created a downloadable claim form.
This can be accessed from the Regalia section of the BMMC website or click this link http://www.marshals.co.uk/national/b...bmaster/10.htm

Eric/Stephen,
I have just been speaking with Nick Wray at AWS as I'm getting a new set of probans.

Would it be feasible to provide AWS with a quantity of our cloth Grading Badges so that these can be sewn in professionally at the point of sale? It could also give some uniformity to the Probans!
Kind regards

**Stephen Green** · 9 Dec 2011, 12:46 (Ref:2997533)

In the past we have refrained from doing this for two reasons:

Cost
Time taken by AWS to do the work.

We should remember that AWS supply the overalls to the BMMC at cost and so asking for extra sewing to be done 'might' have an implication on that.

I will speak to Nick to get his views on this. How would members react if there was a small charge for sewing grading badges on if it were a seperate arrangement between them selves and AWS?

Sorry I meant to add that! I for one would most definitely be prepared to pay someone who can sew without knotting/breaking the cotton and stabbing needle in thumb!!

**Stephen Green** · 9 Dec 2011, 12:50 (Ref:2997536)

I know exactly what you mean Mark!

Leave it with me and I will try to speak to Nick during the course of next week and come back with some thoughts. I do agree though that having grading badges sewn on in a uniform or regular place would look more professional.

Mark Mitchell · 9 Dec 2011, 12:52 (Ref:2997539)

Thanks Stephen

Excellent idea, I'd be interested I'm about to buy a new (ok 2 pairs stitched together) set

ibuckley · 13 Dec 2011, 13:09 (Ref:2999158)

I'd be interested in having the grading badge professionally stitched too. Think it's time for a new pair. I must have grown taller as they don't fit as well as the used to

Mark Mitchell · 20 Jan 2012, 12:06 (Ref:3014519)

Probans ordered.........2 weeks ago.......still waiting for delivery!

Apple · 20 Jan 2012, 12:40 (Ref:3014534)

Have you asked AWS about your order? it may not be their fault

Mark Mitchell · 20 Jan 2012, 12:47 (Ref:3014535)

I have indeed........they said it would take 2 weeks haha

Apple · 20 Jan 2012, 15:24 (Ref:3014592)

I realise now you were complimenting them on their accuracy in predicting the postage time

Mark Mitchell · 22 Jan 2012, 14:53 (Ref:3015305)

I "Think" they have arrived! Not at home when parcel came.......next door neighbour taken parcel in for me........now they not in!!!

Mark Mitchell · 25 Jan 2012, 13:20 (Ref:3016767)

Arrived this morning and have to say they look great. Really pleased with them and the extra embroidery they did for me.

**Stephen Green** · 25 Jan 2012, 14:18 (Ref:3016801)

Glad to hear it Mark

Sparky-steve · 29 Jan 2012, 00:22 (Ref:3018360)

myself and two other marshals tried to order some new probans from the AWS stand at the Autosport Show..
well the member of staff we spoke to treated us like something you might step in, told us very curtly they don't do Marshals overalls

well we were stunned at this and left the stand, passing a sign next to there till, saying "order your BMMC overalls here"

are there any other suppliers that can we order probans from, with the same quality as AWS ones??

**Stephen Green** · 29 Jan 2012, 08:11 (Ref:3018428)

Please speak to Nick at AWS directly and let him know of your experience, he will be devastated to read this post!

thanks Stephen ,i'll ring him tomorrow, and let him know.

yes we were absolutely shocked by the experience ourselves,
all of us have had nothing but excellent service from AWS in the past
we really just couldn't believe it happened.

**Stephen Green** · 31 Jan 2012, 05:51 (Ref:3019257)

How did you get on with Nick???

ibuckley · 28 Feb 2012, 11:05 (Ref:3032365)

This thread is a little confusing now as it's been going on for so long. Any chance of starting afresh so as to avoid confusion and the need to read the whole lot to understand the current state of affairs?

**Stephen Green** · 28 Feb 2012, 11:08 (Ref:3032366)

Basically, you order your overalls directly with AWS letting them know you are a BMMC member. Once you have your receipt from AWS send it to Sue Whitlock who will issue a cheque for the sponsorship amount and post it to you.

Mark Mitchell · 29 Feb 2012, 12:14 (Ref:3032981)

Sue can even pay the subsidy amount straight into your bank account. Worked for me!
