Thanks, Woolley. I've added those venues to the database, so they should now be ready for your info.

Cheers!

EvilPumpkin · 13 Jun 2002, 08:22 (Ref:312313)

Just a suggestion - is it worth putting marshalling contact details for a circuit as well?

I know that's not appropriate to all circuits, but the majority of them have a "primary" marshals' club that looks after them I think?

PaulPerkins · 13 Jun 2002, 08:34 (Ref:312323)

Good idea, EP.

That's now in.

Lorna · 15 Jun 2002, 13:28 (Ref:314351)

You've got my banner on there! (I'm Miss Trackdates.com)

Thank you!

Just off to return the favour now...

Looks good! Like it very much.

Lorna · 15 Jun 2002, 13:38 (Ref:314364)

Double post...

PaulPerkins · 15 Jun 2002, 14:05 (Ref:314373)

Thanks, Lorna!

Lorna · 16 Jun 2002, 15:40 (Ref:314965)

No probs at all.

Ric Amery · 17 Jun 2002, 20:05 (Ref:315647)

Just to say great idea, new to site. If you need any information about Brands Hatch,here to oblige.

PaulPerkins · 17 Jun 2002, 20:12 (Ref:315653)

Thanks, Ric.

If you've got the time to spare, sign up and oblige away

The circuit is already in the database, so it's simply a case of adding the info to the appropriate place.

Thanks again,

Paul.

Sorry I've not added much lately - I'll put that to rights now I've got a few days off!

PaulPerkins · 26 Jun 2002, 07:07 (Ref:321823)

Thanks, b1ackcr0w

Dear all,

Just a quick note to say a big thankyou to everyone that has helped the website get off the ground. Without you, it would be Oulton Park and nothing else!

And the update:

We now have a proper domain name for the website. It can be reached on

http://www.marshalspost.com

The new domain name has kind of happened by accident - that's what I used as a working title for the site and it has stuck since. There is another domain name in the wings - I'll announce that at a later date.

Now for the exciting bit!!

Free email address for each user

Every user signed up to the system now gets a proper email address. For example, my user ID on the system is 'paul', so all mail sent to 'paul@marshalspost.com' will be forwarded on to the email address I signed up with. Similarly, all email sent to 'davebrand@marshalspost.com' will make it to his email address.

To activate your email address, please log in as normal and go to the 'my profile' page. Your email alias will then be displayed (note that the email aliases is the same as your user ID but with spaces removed). Enter your password into both boxes and press 'Save' (you're not actually changing anything, but the action of saving sets up the email system to forward your emails).

Please note that any changes to your forwarding address will normally take around 12 hours to activate, so your alias will not work to begin with until 12 hours after you log in and work through the steps outlined above.

Thanks once again for all your help, and I hope the email address feature helps in some small way to repay you.

Paul.

No payment needed mate. Nice to be involved in something so useful and worthwhile.

icklimp · 30 Jun 2002, 18:54 (Ref:324639)

Have you considered doing a section club by club, as so many of them travel from circuit to circuit it may be useful to have a main contact for each club as well as each circuit. You couldn't have such a detailed breakdown but you could still have a marshal's persepective on each club, whether they tend to stick to decent length lunch breaks and whether the organiser's are friendly. Just an idea.

PaulPerkins · 1 Jul 2002, 07:15 (Ref:324895)

icklimp,

Yes, that's a good idea. There does seem to be a discernable difference between how events are run by the different clubs.

I'll get my PHP thinking cap on and add the pages to the site.

Thanks for the idea!

Paul.

icklimp · 1 Jul 2002, 07:56 (Ref:324920)

well if you need some help i can do something well informed on MAC and VSCC and fairly general stuff on BRSCC, BARC, 750MC, JCC and MGCC.

PaulPerkins · 1 Jul 2002, 07:59 (Ref:324922)

Thanks, icklimp. I'll drop you a line when the pages are done.

Pete Howarth · 1 Jul 2002, 18:34 (Ref:325310)

Paul,

I'm going to Silverstone next weekend, Observing at Club camping G 15

**Stephen Green** · 2 Jul 2002, 07:03 (Ref:325621)

Me too Peter H14 I believe so lets say hi. Talk of a ten-tenths get together on Friday night if you're interested?

Pete Howarth · 2 Jul 2002, 19:21 (Ref:326049)

Stephen,

Sounds like a good idea, see you Friday evening

**Stephen Green** · 8 Jul 2002, 20:21 (Ref:329723)

Peter, Gret to see you over the weekend! Hope you made it home ok?

PaulPerkins · 9 Jul 2002, 07:43 (Ref:329955)

Hi Chaps,

Sorry I've been a little quiet on this thread recently.

As it looks like we've all had an 'interesting' weekend, could I be cheeky and ask you to mosey on over to the website and add your experiences

Ta v much,

Paul.

PS. Don't forget to update your profile to get your free email address!

Pete Howarth · 9 Jul 2002, 18:58 (Ref:330422)

Stephen,

Made home eventually, must admit had a great weekend meeting up with people and a great team on post.
Enough said a about the camp site

Pete

Lorna · 12 Jul 2002, 22:49 (Ref:332986)

Yay! A url I can remember!

Tis looking good.

PaulPerkins · 16 Jul 2002, 07:04 (Ref:334714)

Dear all,

Time for another update!

I've now added a 'Club' section to the website. This will contain details of both marshalling clubs and race organisers.

Also, thanks to the v. kind MagnetON and EP, we now have another way of reaching the site. The URL is http://www.wavedyellow.com Many thanks MO and EP

Have fun!
