Marshalling at Brands and a sticky idea

[JackN]

Hey.

Ive marshalled at Snetterton plenty of times, but this weekend will be my frist trip as a marhsal to brands, so where do i go to sign on, where to park etc etc? (ive been as a spectator)

Maybe this basic information could be compiled and made into a sticky topic, so that i wont have to post and annoy you all when i want to go to Silverstone or Donington later in the year

Thanks!

Enter via Scratchers Lane entrance (follow signs for paddock entrance) and sign on is in Hailwoods which is the retaurant at the bottom of paddock hill.

You can park at the top of paddock hill if you have a pass for your car.

Jack,
As with most big events at Brands, we are being asked to park in the field opposite Stratchers lane Paddock entrance. Just follow the tango people from there.

HTH
click here to see where stuff is

I was informed me that even though I could do this for all the circuits quite easily with help from locals, the forum was not the place for it.
Apparently..

It's the kind of useful information that would be better placed in our Wiki under the Marshalling section or in the Circuit Guides section, this is a worldwide forum and if there was a sticky thread then there could literally be pages and pages to read before finding the relevant circuit map and having a separate sticky thread for each circuit would be much, much worse.

Jack N,
Have you not recived your tickets/ final instructions then for this weekend.

[JackN]

No i've only volunteered today, cause i've just discovered I can do this weekend.

**slightly off topic**

Done for Thruxton [first circuit I had to hand] - could somebody check the link for me, and let me know what they see?

If all is OK, I will add a similar link for the other circuits I have created - http://wiki.ten-tenths.com/index.php...n#Circuit_Info

Ta,
David

If you go to the South East Region page of the BMMC website and click on 'Circuits', on the Brands Hatch section there is a 'Marshals Google Map' link.

Click on that and a whole host information pops up, thanks to the kind person that compiled all this for some of the circuits, shame they don't cover every one.

That's what BS was referring to earlier!
I have done one for Oulton too!

hmm, clicking on the ones for Brands & Snetterton shows they are
a) the one I linked to earlier
&
b) the ones created by me with help from others ( Mark for Oulton...see above, JimW for Donny..)

glad to see them getting put to their intended use

I never finished Lydden because I have'nt been there for ages.

I never added them to 10ths Wiki because I could'nt get my head round using it & it seemed nobody was really interested.
BTW, I was'nt getting at the boss, Magnet is right, too many stickies clutter the place, and we do like the place to be international, not just local brit stuff.

As for other circuits in the country Eric, with help from others I created maps for Oulton,Thruxton,Donnington and to a lesser extent Silverstone & Mallory all in the same basic style. I was trying to get Combe and Goodwood sorted as well. Croft I don't know anybody too well from up there, some goes for Knocky. Mondello I had not started on otherthan bookmarking it's position and sadly Kirkistown lacks a high def photo resolution. I even have some stuff on foreign circuits I have marshalled at, most notably Le Mans becasuse questions always come up.

David, your map looks fine. What I was trying to do was have similar styles and icons across all circuits.
Here's the one we did for Thruxton. click this as you can see, not knowing Thruxton, I did'nt name the posts. If you want to combine the 2, I can give you editing/collaborator rights, just PM me with your email addy.

Last year I tried emailing the owner of that site to see if he wanted to add them. Never got a reply, did'nt cross my mind just to add the links myself. Thanks Dave.

[Bodysnatcher]

Just been and checked my maps

in the public domain we have completed maps for
Brands
Snet
Thruxton
Oulton
Combe
Mallory
& Donington (as it is/was)
(I think this means that when you look at a Google map of the area you can search user created content and find the info)

Did'nt mention Anglesey,Pembury or Rockingaham earlier, but they were planned. Last time I looked though, Anglesey was showing the layout that's long gone.

does anuone know where to find a list of the primary radio frequencies for each circuit so they can be added to the memory of scanners?

From the Marshals Post home page: "The approach we take is slightly different to other websites - it is you, the user, that contributes to the content. When you sign up, you are then able to enter details on circuits, posts and clubs, and even upload your photos to share your experiences with other users." Just a pity I couldn't get it to recognise HTML tags, so I couldn't post them as proper links.
