fatcat Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 SEMSEC/TWMC are running a sprint and race meeting at Brands on Sat 9th Sept. A similar meeting earlier this year came close to being cancelled due to a lack of marshals. We're expecting a good turn out of drivers - sports, tintop, sevens & single seaters - so it would be a disaster for the clubs concerned and for club motorsport in general if we can't get enough marshals to run this next event. The problem of getting marshals for club events has been getting slowly worse over the years - older guys retiring but not enough new blood joining the sport. Are youngsters staying at home with their computer games instead of getting out and getting involved in the real world ? Anyway whatever the reason, if there a several club events on in the region at the same time, then the active marshals can get spread pretty thin. So please and come and help. Experienced marshals welcome. Complete novices welcome. If you like motorsport its a great day out. More information here or post here, blatmail me and I'll try to answer queries. I have seen some threads here and elsewhere where ex-marshals have complained (with justification) about being taken for granted and treated pretty poorly. Be clear that SEMSEC appreciate and value marshals, for example all drivers contribute to the marshals fund which buys prizes for the marshals raffle held at the end of the meeting. As a further incentive, I've had a word with some of the other guys and we'll contribute £20 to NtL for each person directly or indirectly involved with L7C who comes along to marshal at this event. (OK, OK, if several hundred of you turn up we may have to cap that somewhere <img class='"smiley"' alt='"toothy' src='"images/smilies/teeth.gif"' smiley"="" data-cke-saved-src="">) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
