Rant over
Even as a beginner, I though there was some poor marshalling, and thought it was terrible how people were not willing to do their bit after their race,
So much so someone even had to announce their names over the tannoy to get them on the track,

I even marshalled 4 races, and I was not even racing.

Gav, I'm getting sick of your snide comments.

Issues with the BBK database & hosting at present means no results. Plenty of other jobs to be sorted before the weekend.

poor gav has to win the championship birdy , there is prizes involved now and his compulsive tyre buying habit has almost bankrupted him the 20 prize may be his only way of affording to live
we cant all work in jobs that require us to do long hours at all ends of the country to make our money ya know, results are important for those who actually care about them more than life itself

This is a genuine suggestion Gav, why don't you take up the role of maintaining the website/results which will take pressure off Birdy and Si and give you unlimited time to look at numbers with decimal places?

I would be willing to help but as I A. Can't attend anywhere near as regularly as you and B can just about word process I wouldn't be much use really!!

As I said I'm not having a go but it would solve your issues Gav.

Unfortunately with the current plans the results and bmrcc website will be sharing web space on my server with budsballs. Neil has requested the relevant info off me a couple of weeks ago I thought one off my mates had it but it was another pal"matt Coleman " who's got the details Birdy has contacted him but he is away as soon as he his back we will switch the website over

You will not have access to it some trusted member of the club I.e howler/Neil will have

Or we get a 3G dongle for the club PC and host the results live on the web (I have no idea how this is done BTW, but I've seen people do it) so Gav can follow the results in the pits.

Technology - Keeping Gav sad since 2013....

Fair enough. It would be a good idea to keep people in the know though. Southport's website and results are always up to date, it's not too much to think we can be like them

Totally agree, bury has to be bury. But it wouldn't ba a bad model to take tips from, southport after all are a national level club and are very organised, that's all I'm saying. Not that we should aim for national level status or anything, just the fact that it's well run. Southport never have as many marshalling problems we do for example. If you're strict with it, people learn fast. If you're too leanient they'll take the mickey.
I'm always willing to help (designing/building tracks, cleaning the track and filling the hose) so I'm not just a know it all bystander, I honestly says things that i think will move the club forwards

Reading through the post's a constantly shouting on the Mic for marshals at the last meeting, I am thinking of adopting a new rule / good practice.

All marshals MUST wear hiviz jackets, (not sure why we aren't doing this anyhow) marshals to stand on the correct numbers, marshals to wait after the race has finished and only leave once they have been relived by the next heat.

This way we can clearly see who is not at their post in time, best round will be taken off for not being at the post in time.

Needs to be agreed with the committee first, but cant see it being a issue as we are the ones shouting all day.

I agree if only to get people into the routine also we could put A big table at the gate to put cars and trannys on while marshalling.

That was also suggested last week.

Both will be in place for the Memorial and Regional and club meetings.

Well the table we were thinking of is currently inside the race control cabin so if its wet it can say there.
Some people already do leave their car on the table and marshal. Some even forget and go home without their car.....
