2010 Aussie F1GP Marshals thread

PVDA · 11 Mar 2010, 08:07 (Ref:2649405)

Well the post allocation E-mails have been sent out.

I'm allocated to Team 25 (Flags), Position N/A.

Anyone know where N/A is located at the track??

I got lost off the list and reapplied manually late in the piece so I'm a "spare".

Also got the Credential Collection E-mail this afternoon and I suggest everyone checks theirs carefully NOW.

My one had me not requiring a uniform (I do), my sisters had her requiring a uniform (she doesn't) and no car park pass.

So who is where this year.

If your message is wrong reply back to Lauren at CAMS ASAP and don't leave it til the last minute.

Team 25 (Flags) 13L for me, glad to be on a corner, and not on a straight bit this year

Maybe they haven't had as many people reapply as last year...

Any bets on us getting a meal after each day's activities, seeing as we are trackside until late in the evening?

Near the Airport?

Someone on Facebook suggested Near Alcohol which isn't much use to me

Mick, I'm told they've got rid of the Deputy Sector Marshal position and they're all Sector Marshals which means those who normally worked with a DepSec, which meant they had the mid sector posts, now have a chance to get to the corners.

I am on Team 38 (Spectator Marshal)
This amuses me greatly as 1: I am not a spectator Marshal and 2: I haven't even applied!!

Good to see the system works.............

**Stephen Green** · 16 Mar 2010, 10:05 (Ref:2653349)

So do I

Just didn't seem right not having you guys starting the season off!

Bahrain was just a warm up. Not as if there was any actual racing.

I had to check which forum I was in, I thought I had heard that exact phrase uttered over in the Aust V8's a few short weeks ago

Great to catch up with Tony and Jan from Belfast and Trevor from the UK (+1) at the island....great meeting, the cars were the stars

bludvl_x19 · 22 Mar 2010, 09:44 (Ref:2657693)

Where were you at on the weekend? I managed to catch up with Trevor, but if I had known to look out for you, I would have. Were you on the bank?
Will you be at the GP?

bludvl_x19 · 23 Mar 2010, 02:17 (Ref:2658330)

I just realised I didn't get a minute by minute (the little bound book) like I have in the past years...is it just me that missed out, or are they not issued like they were?

We all missed out.

I beleive it was too late getting to the printers.

Maybe Thursday at sign in from what I am informed.

PVDA · 23 Mar 2010, 10:32 (Ref:2658485)

We used to get it on the Thursday morning but they managed to get them ready to hand out with our credentials for a few years now.

PVDA · 24 Mar 2010, 07:32 (Ref:2659060)

Well it all starts in a little over 15 hours or so.

(for those of us not silly enough to go to the drive day there today)

bludvl_x19 · 24 Mar 2010, 07:37 (Ref:2659062)

I can't wait

Where were you at on the weekend? Phillip Island staying in a holiday shack!
I managed to catch up with Trevor, but if I had known to look out for you, I would have. So would I!
Were you on the bank? Yes, three times on Drivers Left Bank!!
Will you be at the GP? No way Jose!

Seems to be quite a lot of disquiet at the treatment of volunteers at this meeting. CVD has put something on facebook and I've had two emails from experienced officials going ballistic at the shabby way they were treated this year.
No one prepared to go public though. This is how they keep getting away with treating people like crap.
Anybody got any updates as to what went on? and anybody prepared to go "on the record"? This needs to be stopped before we lose even more volunteers.

PVDA · 29 Mar 2010, 02:13 (Ref:2662345)

IPL I started a thread on here and no one said anything in fact I posted this on the same thread to try and drum up some comments;

As usual I'm the only one brave enough to say something.

The thread is here for those wanting to look at it.
