Firstly happy new year to everybody... hope the headaches have faded away

Has anybody recieved confirmation of BGP exceptance yet?

Just wondering as I haven't heard anything as yet..

Thanks

Fitzy

Fitzy it's too early to hear. The Selection Meeting is held during the first few weeks of January and only at that stage will invitations start to be processed. I think the invites usually come out around the beginning of February but if you search the previous threads on here you'll be able to see.

Thanks for that Piglet, just wondered as the post in my neck of the woods has been a bit shabby over the past month for obvious reasons

Piglet · 1 Jan 2006, 14:24 (Ref:1492859)

No problem Fitzy, if you keep an eye on here you'll know when the invites start to arrive. Different disciplines are sent out in batches so Pits usually arrive later than say Flags or Course.

Don't get impatient!!!!!

The selection meeting has yet to take place - I expect it to be sometime in January, but have not yet had a date given. Until that has happened the MSA will not be sending out any confirmations.

As last year, as soon as I hear anything I will post it here.

Judging by the number of volunteers i have processed I do not think we will be overcrowded with numbers.

If the GP is perhaps not overcrowded and yet the Goodwood Revival is, does this not tell us something about the interest in F1 in this country, the last GP I did was at Brands, sorry but it just pants - Balders

Usually arrives around Valentines Day, which use'd to give my ex wife some stress, I was always more excited about getting that, then getting a card! Whoops.

such a shame that some of us have not received any answer in any way shape or form. We tried the "BMMC" route as well as the "Chris Hobson" one.........
no answer...!!!!!!!

obviously we are not welcome @ Silverstone!!!!!!!

ok then, we'll see you all at Indy for the F1 GP and maybe CART somewhere else

chezza · 28 Jan 2006, 09:48 (Ref:1510655)

Calm down stuart...no one has had any info on the GP yet...apart from application. If you've done that you should be hearing in the next couple of weeks. These things take a while. I am sure that all marshals that meet the application criteria will be asked to attend.

CombeMarshal · 28 Jan 2006, 11:46 (Ref:1510692)

I'm sure your very welcome at Silverstone, whether Bernie wants a load of people dressed in orange is another thing!!

Piglet · 28 Jan 2006, 12:43 (Ref:1510712)

This year is no different to this year (in fact last year it was a bit later I think as there was some debate about the date and even whether there would be a GP).

The MSA need to ensure that everything is in place before they go through this process otherwise we'd moan that they were wasting money by organising something that didn't happen. If there's a date change after they've sent out invites then they'd have to resend it all with new reply cards with the cost and labour involved in all of that.

If you're getting stressed about being hard done by now, may I suggest that you may not find the GP itself a pleasurable experience?

**Woolley** · 28 Jan 2006, 12:57 (Ref:1510718)

IIRC from the days I did GP, it's usually late February when the invites come through?

Well, after the Sid Watkins Lecture at least Bernie should know what the "Funny People in Orange Romper Suits" are called! Even if he doesn't know what we do!

roys1 · 29 Jan 2006, 11:42 (Ref:1511200)

I am lead to believe that the selection process happenned a few days ago, so don't panic people. invites will be out as soon as the MSA has processed the paperwork.

Nighthawk · 30 Jan 2006, 10:52 (Ref:1511782)

Had my confirmation through this morning from the MSA,
so things are on the move

Micky.H · 30 Jan 2006, 15:28 (Ref:1511974)

Yep, my confirmation arrived this morning.

sws1968 · 30 Jan 2006, 17:14 (Ref:1512030)

Yes, up here in Scotland we have just got our letter confirming our acceptance.Roll on June

Hepatic · 30 Jan 2006, 18:00 (Ref:1512058)
