Help For New Marshals

[mike.bills]

Only having only starting to do marshaling recently i have found that it can be quite difficult to get all the equipnent needed at a resonable cost so please if anyone has any spare stuff that new marshals can use or buy until they can arrange thier own please can you help.

Do you mainly do sprint / hill climb events or other disciplines ,

If you are looking for the basic gear of overalls gloves etc then some clubs have some spare sets you can borrow and many regular marshlas have spare gloves etc

if it more specialsied gear for sprint / hill climb such as safety glasses / ear defenders etc if you are working startline then again we ( Chester Motor Club) provide these for our events on a loan basis for those working these areas

If you are regulalry marshalling then from personal exp it is worth joining one of the marshlling clubs (BMMC or others) as they often run discount schemes

Thanks for the reply Mathews Dad this is not for me i have most of the stuff but until i got to know the marshals at the venues i marshal at it was difficult to find who had spares to lend so if there was a way to pass on old or exesive things to new comers then it may encourage them to come again.
