Autosport Show Get-Together?

[Stephen Green]

Ahhh thats another story Richard and I honestly don't think we would make so much with you dressed in the skimpy outfits to attract the photographers (but one never knows).

Suzy, Jim has promised to send me a cartoon once he can resurrect it on his PC. Many thanks for all your help.

To those I may have seen but not recognised...sorry. Hopefully I will be able to assist again next year (well I do have the shirt now).

[Richard Sneader]

A note on the shirts, as we are all wearing the same colour trousers and shirts it all looks very proffesional and uniformed and we are a team. Afterall thats what marshalling is all about. Instead of complaining about things on the stand publicly please speak to Eric and tell him your thoughts. He works B***dy hard with others to make the stand what it is and to reprasent the club in the right sphere. My view was we looked great and the stand was excellent. We all worked hard over the days on the show to get more recruits in.
Rant over.
RS.

Stephen, we shook hands and chatted for a couple of minutes!!!
You made comment that I was wearing a BARC shirt with a BRSCC jacket!
You then went on to say how damned good looking I was "In The Flesh"

Mark

(OK I made the last bit up!!)

I did after my stint on the stand last year!
That's possibly why I wasn't invited back this year (Can't take critisism?)

Interestingly though, at least two of my suggestions were on the stand this year!


However, I do agree that Eric concentrates a lot to time & effort into this project and is certainly the best man for the job!
(Creeping over - can I have my job back for 2005 please?)

[Stephen Green]

Oh blimey, why didn't you say who you were Actually I met so many people over the two days it became hard to remember at times. Great to meet you even though I didn't realise it was you (if you know what I mean).

Incredibly handsome...surely you were referring to me

I'll add my voice to the many on saying what a damn fine job Eric does every year for which he gets not much praise!!!

The "team" running the stand were ALL in the same uniform - the ones appearing in orange and other colours were hangers-on (we seemed to get used as a dumping ground on many occasions over the course of the event!!)

Thanks to everyone who visited us and if anyone thinks its an easy job - it ain't. I'm back at work now for a rest!!

If half the number of people who came to talk to us and take information away come to the training days then I think we did a great job. Now we've just got to make sure they stay.

[Stephen Green]

Thats the hard part! Glad you and Ian got home ok

[brickkicker]

I spent a grand total of one hour and 15 minutes at the show on Saturday, that includes the time spend having tea & biscuits in the press office prior to registering for accreditation.

Did they have any chocolate biscuits left after we cleaned them out on the Friday
I didnt think the show was that bad and was better than last year but still not something I would pay that much to go and see.

[Mark Mitchell]

Stephen, I think I was bored because I was on my own (Nobody loves me.....everybody hates me!)
The missus decided that she didn't want to come, and rather than saying "Alright love I'll give it a miss and we'll go in 2005" I though I might be missing out on something so made the trek on me todd!
Took me ages to get home as well, due to an artic delivering bread in the central reservation of the M6!

[Stephen Green]

It took me 4 hours to get from the NEC to Faversham courtesy of the road works on the M42

I'm sorry if my comments have given offence but they were meant tongue in cheek. I agree with you that Eric does a sterling job every year and I wouldn't dream of complaining publicly or otherwise. You did all look extremely smart in your British Racing Green shirts, which was much better than my royal blue fleece when I was on the marshals club stand at the Classic Car show a couple of years ago.

Stephen, I hate to say this but you are wrong about BRSCC colours – their official clothing is in British Racing Green. BARC gear is navy blue. Come to think of it 750MC is British Racing Green as well.

Sheila

[Stephen Green]

Officially I agree, but if you look at all the 'officials shirts' they are a powder blue, or at least all the SE Centre shirts are.

[Richard Sneader]

Marshalgirl, thank you for the support, Glad you both got home ok and it was nice to meet you both, Stephen it took me 2hrs 15 mins to get back to Kent. Glad you arrived back ok. Sheila the new shirts for the BRSCC are powder blue and the new fleeces are navy blue.

What were you doing on the M42 if you were going to Faversham:confused:

[Mark Mitchell]

M42.....M40....M25 at a guess!

[Tim Falce]

oh,
Friday night. 5pm M6....M1...M25
2 hours to Sidcup Kent including delay on M25 due to an accident
On a Sunday night I would have gone down the A14 and M11

[Peter Harding]

Just a quick tip. The long (2 hour) show on Saturday starts at 6 pm. When you leave all the car park men have gone and your parking was free. Try it next year.

[flagwaver]

This is what I like to see corporate imaging. Everyone in the same colours apart from the South Eastern Centre.
Perhaps thats why the club is doing so well, even committe members do't know what colours we need to wear!

[flagwaver]

All we can hope is that we get some sort more marshals.
After all thats what the stand was all about.

[Stephen Green]

We did sign a few up over the Saturday and Sunday and also gave out loads of info so fingers crossed.

False old boy, Observer got it dead right...M42, M40, M25, M20, M2 home.

I hate the M1 as I always get held up around Luton and Milton Keynes. Damn bandits

[Stephen Green]

I'm still smarting at the fact you didn't come and say hi armed with bags of doughnuts for the team

[Tim Falce]

Stephen, were you there on Friday when I had to eat all the doughnuts myself cos I couldn't find you, plus I ended up drinking all the bottles of Bud that I brought.
Try the A14 from the end of M6, it isnt too bad, I won't touch the M1 on a sunday evening.

[Stephen Green]

No, I was only there Saturday and Sunday. I drove up from faversham on Friday night arriving Solihull around 7.00pm just in time for dinner with the crew!

[Matt Dillon]

I visited the stand on Friday (Daughter says thanks for the lolly!!). I thought the Guys & Gals were doing a good job, had a look rounf the Irish Rescue unit & picked up some tips for ours. Eric keep up the good work.
