Wales Rally GB 2007 marshalsis anyone (apart from me) marshalling on this years Wales Rally GB?
If so, what stages are you marshalling?
I am at Resolven, Crychan & Trawscowed. Hopefully it will be a deciding round of the World Rally Championship with Grönholm and Loeb battling for honours.

the way the 2007 season is going it could well boil down to the result of Wales rally gb to decide the 2007 world rally championship if it does I will be there. Havent got my license yet so cant marshal but I know this will be a cracking event to marshall on, of course the best on offer in the UK

Apply now, you will get your licence within a week and there are plenty of events to get upgrades on before Dec.
|
joe_the_waiter

you won't need an upgrade to marshal on wrgb, just a standard licence is good enough. Gav, if your interested in marshalling on any of the days, let me know and I could poss get you with us if you want

Still worth applying for the licence anyway, beat the rush for '08. Dave knows WRGB will be thankful for all the bodies they can get
|
Gav Taylor

I will certainly contemplate the event, however I may be going away at the beginning of December, if not I will be at GB in some capacity.

Is Dave practicing for WRGB sleeping in his car  on the RAC? 
|
Gav Taylor
|
either way with his cutting edge mobile technology one would have thought he would of "popped in for a quick one" wherever he is the the UK
may be time to send that search party out up at Otterburn in that forest.
|
joe_the_waiter
|
unfortunately, not gone to RAC. but almost ready for WRGB

Dave, i expect a picture of the Fronty up to the eyes in sh*t for the front cover of the oily rag!
|
joe_the_waiter
|
I'm sure we'll come back with a front cover pic. Ste often gets the crackers... including an awesome video of a car on wrgb 2005 jumping over his camera.

it forecast gales for the rally Dave so dont park under any trees!!
What are your catering arrangements by the way?
I'm always interested in the planning work that goes into a rally trip.
|

catering is not up to your standards Gavin, you had a full hospitality suite with you on the JCR.
we take camp cooker, breakfast stuff, other tinned food (i.e. bombay potatoes, sausage casserole, etc), lots of snack stuff & we make use of the odd warm meal in a bar. beers for the night & we're done
|
Gav Taylor
|
not a bad set up Dave!!!
|
joe_the_waiter
|
oh, theres no set up Gav.... just buy lots & hope we have enough. the car is well kitted out now, just need to add clothes & food & 2 willing marshals. got the club banners (look out for them on in car footage).

thats one way to describe the local talent in kelso

what amazed me wasn't the amount of stuff you brought, it was how you got it all in the back of a vectra (or was it a cav? I can't remember)

I was expecting live updates from the forests, Dave and Steve are obviously having too much fun out there.......... 
|
Gav Taylor
|
maybe they are trapped deep in the forest because the gales have felled an amount of trees and blocked them in!
Even so would like to hear from SDMCs marshalling A-Team!!
|
Gav Taylor
|
surprised not to see any live on event updates from the man himself,which are normally de rigeur from Dave!
|
joe_the_waiter
|
sorry guys...... seems to be a lack of mobile phone masts west of the border. no signal in any stages. will prob write something for the newsletter... but for now.... sleep .. zzzzzzzzz
|
club sec

Is that sleep or sheep?
|

well we are into march already its about time to start getting ready for wrgb as dave is always running late Start sorting the car out getting supplies in checking maps etc although last year i was impressed he got himself ready quite early
|
Gav Taylor
|
isnt 8 months a touch early Ste?
maybe if you were scaling Everest in a vest and flip fops, blindfolded yeah, but how much prep do you have to do to marshall a WR?
|
