Anyone who would like to volunteer you can do so via the HSCC, Julians website, Donington ES or PM either myself or Fay.

Looking good at the present time with over 300 entries, perhaps we should see if we can arrange a minutes silence for Robert Fearnall as this is the first meeting at Donington since he passed away.

Haha worth a shot! :-p just can't wait to see the cars, will be a honour as always marshalling for the masters and hscc!!!

Fay, Alan,

Alas with one thing and the other (my ongoing treatment and now Bill has a bad leg that is still being "looked into") we won't be coming along to this meeting, which is a real shame as it should have been the ideal "season opener".

We haven't yet volunteered for anything (for above reasons) so hope this won't inconvenience you too much.

Hope to see you at some point during the year!

I'll be at Donington on the Sunday. Looking forward to it thiiiiiiiiis much

[edit] Plop! There's the tickets just arrived. Now I'm looking forward to it even more, what a brilliant entry list!

Hi all

I've just found out that I'm now able to Marshal on Saturday, please could I ask what time is sign-on and where do we sign-on as I have never been before! I'm down for Startline. Thank you in advance.

Sign-on at Donington is usually at the rear of the craner suites. Enter circuit through the paddock gate / security, and ahead turn right through the assembly area, onto the circuit at Melbourne loop. Follow the circuit round, and turn off at the inside of Redgate. Follow the track down and turn left at the bottom, and you should be heading for the suites....look for the gaggle of orange

Remember to go to the correct sign-on, it's separate for Donington ES and HSCC.

Looking like it's going to be a damp weekend... I do hope the FJs behave themselves. Last year's FJ race at the Historic Festival was a bit daft. See y'all Sunday!

I would just like to thank all of the marshalls at Donnington on Saturday. I was racing in the 500cc race and the heavens opened just as we went out. It really was a nightmare to see anything especially with the evening sun in your eys down the straights. Hope you have all dried out and as always thank you for attending to allow us to play at racing drivers.

I'd like to thank all my team in the pits! We were able to organise all the practice and racing without too many problems. And well done to the trainees that had their first experience of life in the pitlane.

Hi Terry

Thank you, I had a great day on Saturday, it was a brilliant experience, and one I hope to repeat again soon.

It is great to read that everyone had a good time. I think most posts had something to do over the weekend, so hopefully no-one got bored!

Some great racing and spectacular accidents, even making it in to The Sun.

Thank you to all the marshals, the turnout certainly made my job easier.

I look forward to seeing you all later in the season.

Best regards

Take a close look at the "race wardens" in action in the last photo!

Strangely, the Mail article refers to a quote the driver gave to The Sun!
