Perhaps you have, perhaps you haven't..........

Bring lots of money for ice creams for the troops (or tea depending on the weather)

You could try the BRDC Clubhouse, but unless you're wearing a blazer, you might be unlucky.

Failing that, have two breakfasts on the campsite

So, to change the subject, slightly, is anybody thinking of going to see Kaiser Chiefs on the Saturday night? Do you know if we will be allowed to re-enter the circuit, after returning to the campsite? I recall in the past being told that, once we leave the circuit, we cannot get back in. I'd be interested in going along, but not if I have to lug all my gear around with me at the gig.

The Kaiser Chiefs are on Thursday!

what if i use my scottish charm, knowing how many successful scottish drivers there has been, otherwise assuming there is a gate that is manned at the gp village it looks like a short walk to there from brooklands

And it's free to us, but not our guests.

'Can you do the BBQ washing up love, I'm off to the concert'

I see a possible growth market for legal professionals in defending marshals' spouses against charges of GBH.....

Wrist bands and camping plot details just popped through my letter box.

G9 for me this year.

As in previous years I've setup a Google Docs spread sheet for those of us that wish to share plot locations and see where others are.

Camping plots spread sheet

Passes/permits etc arrived this morning.

[edit: removed my attempt at a campsite map, TwoSheds has done one too]

[Paul Newns]

Thanks, Tim. Very helpful.

I hope you all enjoy yourselves and that the weather is good for you.

We'll be "armchair marshalling" via the TV, so you will have to behave yourselves - we can be critical!!!

We gave up the GP in 2002 (I think - the year before the mad priest) having found the excitement(?) and the cost just too much.

I don't know how things work these days, but I got my first GP badge during my "novice" year. I did "grandstand cover" and then the night fire patrol before finally getting selected to go on the bank. The fire patrol was actually more fun!

And Steve had better make sure his missus doesn't read this - BBQ washing up indeed!!!!!

I was suggesting a 'situation' that could be faced by virtually any BGP marshal.

Unfortunately I won't be able to make the concert because of IOs briefing.

It's one way to save £37.50.....

Aww damn, forgot about the briefings. Does the concert start that early? What time?

[Apple]

They are on at 8 till 9.30 it says

[SouthportFC Fan]

And the briefing for IOs, Post Chiefs, etc. is at 1930 I think.

[Clive]

Maybe we can persuade Bob K to hurry up??

[chezza]

According to the paperwork the ios briefing is at 6pm...lots of time to then get to the concert.

[Greem]

Clerk's briefing at 1900. Attendance mandatory for post chiefs, flag marshals, IOs, fire tender/snatch/breakdown.

That's the IO's job, and there are three of you if we include Tony and Paul on the Pit wall as allegedly they sign on with us. So which day do you want?

Six days to spot a relevant post. I couldn't possibly comment ........

Hmm, can't find that in the briefing notes, I always thought it was part of the PC's "team building" role?

[Shelagh]

We are now building ourselves up to this - as armchair "weekend warriors"! Tinnies (or wine for the ladies), snacks etc going on the list - got to do that supermarket run.

Very jealous of you all but, as we don't do it any more, not that completely green.

Thanks to Sky F1HD and the timing screen, at least we'll feel like we're there - without the weather!

All the best to everyone who is going, whether new or old hands. We'll be with you in spirit (hic!)....... ENJOY!

[numbersix]

Good luck guys and girls. Show 'em how it's done ...

It's called 'delegation'

That's why I'm an observer and you're not
