Invites starting to arrive, had mine today

Mark Mitchell · 19 Mar 2005, 12:57 (Ref:1255968)

Hee Hee - Got my invites as well!

Have to laugh though........I DIDN'T volunteer!!

chezza · 19 Mar 2005, 14:10 (Ref:1255992)

Come out to play mark!

Hope my invites are at home...hurry mummy forward them to me!!

KayBee · 19 Mar 2005, 16:36 (Ref:1256086)

I've not had mine but then I've not volunteered, however, I'm off to do something interesting that weekend - I'm marshalling at Aintree for the Aintree motorbike club so I may see some bikes jump the Grand National fences or at least get to see some of the famous fences.

PS Thanx for the info for everyone else I'll be playing spot the marshal.............

I've emailed the MSA to explain I haven't actually volunteered for this and will post the card back on Monday.

May do a different meeting on the same day though!

Stevespurr · 19 Mar 2005, 20:29 (Ref:1256255)

Five out of six of us accepted so far.

Ian Briggs · 19 Mar 2005, 21:18 (Ref:1256287)

Got my invite today, will be wagging flags somewhere. Couldnt help noticing one thing that symbolises the whole affair, I enjoy the GP, despite all the hanging around and being on post what seems to be hours before we are needed, and would happily do it without the Fiver a day, but then you notice that you have to put your own stamp on the invite return, for gawds sake I know its only 20 odd pee, but it annoys the hell out of me!

Well, the BRDC hadn't sent it to the MSA it would appear, so I'm glad I checked! Anyone else not had their form forwarded?

chezza · 21 Mar 2005, 11:33 (Ref:1257901)

That is very unusual...I haven't checked that my card is at home...must check tonight!

I was on Copse out for my first year (flagging), and was at Chapel (Exit of Becketts) the year after, so that should work out right for you if the rotation works. Working on the rotation theory, I'm hoping for somewhere around Woodcote & the Minardi end (or Ferrari end at the moment

) of the grid this year, but might only get as far as Brooklands/Luffield (Rotation so far: 2001 Copse-2002 Chapel-2003 Club-2004 Farm-2005 ???)

chezza · 21 Mar 2005, 21:54 (Ref:1258371)

My card arrived at home and with any luck will be with me tomorrow...tis my first one so no doubt where ever I am it will be exciting!!

Mike Kelly 1 · 22 Mar 2005, 21:23 (Ref:1259207)

Everyone I know that volunteered got their cards on Saturday or Monday. When I didn't get mine today I rang the MSA only to find that they had not received an application from me to marshal at the GP! I only sent it back to my club last September

They suggested that I download a form and send it in and they would consider it!! Oh well, theres always a two day 750 meeting at Pembrey that weekend.

and your problem is????

750 v F1 =

Good close racing (lots of races) v bunch of prima donnas etc (how many races?)

I just wish Pembrey was a bit closer.

GP will look good on my Tv .

Claire · 23 Mar 2005, 11:13 (Ref:1259655)

The MSA haven't had my form either and I gave it personally to the club that was recommending me. Chris is being very helpful and I have my fingers crossed that I will be accepted if not it will be a two day meeting at Brands for me.

**Stephen Green** · 23 Mar 2005, 11:18 (Ref:1259660)

I don't think you have any worries Claire. Just get the form in and all should be ok.

Cornerworker · 23 Mar 2005, 16:54 (Ref:1259914)

It's Pembrey for me, and you still get to see the Red Arrows perform over the circuit, just a lot closer to you than at Silverstone.

Novice · 6 Apr 2005, 19:00 (Ref:1271960)

Finally got my invite today, I gather some went missing and were resubmitted on Friday.

See you all there

Mike Kelly 1 · 6 Apr 2005, 20:54 (Ref:1272047)

Got mine today as well. All the volunteering forms that the BRSCC SE sent got lost somewhere within the MSA. Its only thanks to the sterling work of Mildred Wiltshire (BRSCC SE Marshals secretary) who chased the matter up with numerous calls, e mails and faxes to the MSA, that those who volunteered via the BRSCC SE (myself included) have now received their invites. I probably speak for all of us, but a great vote of thanks go to Mildred for sorting this out for us

. As i gathered from the GP secretary at the MSA the paperwork somehow got lost in the internal system. You never know, we may be the first people to get our invites for the 2006 GP!

Chris Hobson · 6 Apr 2005, 20:55 (Ref:1272049)

I have now closed the list I am sending to the MSA and have sent e-mails to all those whose submissions I am passing on.

May I wish everyone an enjoyable time at the GP, and a safe season.

See you on the circuits

Chris Hobson
National Chairman BMMC

The Fat Clerk · 6 Apr 2005, 22:36 (Ref:1272113)

Got my invite this morning. See you there.

I think Mildred has done some sterling work for the BRSCC but don't forget Chief Marshal Peter Scillitoe who also works tirelessly!

Incidently, not all the BRSCC SE forms were lost as I got my invitation over a month ago. It seems it was just one batch.
