We’re organising a Marshals Training day at Kames , to cover all kinds of event, on Sunday the 27th April, which will be run to MSA guidelines & will be valid for upgrading Rally Marshal licences. In future to Marshal at a Rally you will need to be licensed.

Standing next to any car going off the line at full pelt is an experience , getting 10 spectators to muck in with you and lift an Escort out of a gully or standing at the flying finish as the cars fly past 3 feet away from you are all the sort of things you remember (you soon forget if it was cold or wet !)
So how about it, any interest ?

 

Yeah, I am interested...

Are there any guidelines that you must meet??

Mail me if you like, farnanson_2K@hotmail.com...

Grant

 

Me too, my uncle was doing it at the McRae rally stages and i fancy a shot, please mail me details Langy81@hotmail.com

Cheers

Steven

 

Hi John, sounds interesting, do you have to have past experiance to take part or can newbies join in ?, drop me the details.

cheers

 

could be interested john, speak about it more later

 

How much is the pay?

 

Hi all. This is for anyone thats interested in marshalling, experienced or a complete novice. If anyone wants to commit to going call Stevie Graham on 07970 321064 and give him your details.

---john---

Dinky, not so much pay, as, if you don't attend then I'll accidentally lose your application for the sprints this year.

 

Langy, you still up for this ???.

 

Sure am mate, have you phoned the number for details yet?

 

will do it 2morrow m8.

see you there then.

 

langy, i just phoned stevie on above number, just leave your name and address with him, course sounds pretty interesting.

 

I havent rang the number...

Whats the setup? Are there any costs? You said the course, do you get to drive round, or get driven round it?

Cheers,
Grant

 

Called the number Chrisy, orange ans phone though

Left my details, do you know when/if you've to be there, what time, how to get there, etc?

Mail me the details if you want or phone me on 07763 678 007

Cheers

 

Langy, i'm not 100% sure of the details but stevie basically said he would call me next week to confirm the exact details/times etc. as for location, well i aint been to kames before, at least i think it is being run there, where is john stevenson when you need him, john, your the man to answer the questions m8. if it is kames, i'll post for directions, dont think it to far really, ayreshire direction i believe.

r.s.grant, best i leave john to answer your questions but it aint a drivin course, its marshaling and involves first aid/rescue/fire fighting, i think ???. also gets your name on the list to marshal at the scottish sprint races etc, sounds good to me.

 

Guys, it's being held at Kames, I'll be going so you can follow me down if you wish. They'll be covering all aspects of Rally marshaling and Speed (Sprints and Hillclimb) marshaling. As Chrisy said, firefighting, rescue/recovery etc. I gather that the idea will actually be to hold a couple of Stages as well for that genuine effect. As for start times etc, it's something I've not even asked myself, I'll find out and post up.

---john---

 

Ok, sounds good to me!! Where is Kames??

I am in Dundee, rough distance??

Cheers,
Grant

 

Grant, I guess it would be around 100 miles for you. It's on the A70 in a village called Muirkirk in Ayrshire.

---john---

 

My old mk1 escort will be on the stage if it survives Ingliston on Saturday !!

BTTT

 

Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned pulling an Escort out of a ditch then George !!!!


---john---

 

Thats why I posted !!!

 

Course starts at 10AM.

---john---

Edited 'cause it was a load of crap.

John, few questions.

1. what time you headin down.
2. presume the course is definate then.
3. is there an afternoon of motorsport at kames on saturday.

langy - if your still goin down on sat let us know an i'll arrange a meeting point to head on down.

chris donald

 

Er, I think you mean Grade 3 (cos Grade 1 is stage commanders etc). You need to have the registration form signed on behalf of a car club confirming that you have marshalled on three rallies as well.

 

GM, is correct (just checked the MSA web site). Basic grade is 3.


Chrisy, I'll be leaving about 09:15. We are having an SIDC day at Kames on Saturday, starts at 10am



[Edited by John Stevenson - 4/24/2003 12:33:14 PM]

 

no probs john, i'll pop down your way for 9:15 then an follow you down then.

 

Chrisy, where are you meeting JS and at what time? The quickest way for me is probably through Strathaven and up that way but if you give me a meeting place i'll be there. Probably six and half a dozen anyway

Out of interest, are you going to the SIDC day on Saturday as well??

 

Alright Langy, i'm following john down from his place (2mins from me), he's kindly agreed to cook us a nice big breakfast before headin down at 9:15, dont know if you want to head over cumbernauld first or just head the way you said.

john, i prefer fruit pudding to black m8.

 

Langy, where do you live ?

---john---

 

I live in Motherwell

 

Quite fancied the course but not able to make it this Sunday
