Thanks
very much to all who turned up on Sunday 11th July, even though the
weather was quite menacing. The worst was mostly in the beginning, with only a
few showers throughout the day. We were 5 flaggies short for the race meet, but
all was managed Ok for the day. WASCC will look at getting us a cabinet to
store headsets in away from leaks in our shed. All in all, we had good food for lunch & good racing on the day.
P.S.Rumour has it that there
was a flaggie who had a bad case of dropping things that day. Their glove was
dropped and landed in a puddle; their hat flew off the bus and it was recovered
on the next trip around the track; and unfortunately on a trip to the toilets
their bag of lollies got dropped in the urinal.
………… anyone for a Sweetie !!
WASCC & CAMS has informed us that if there is an
incident or an accident where someone gets hurt, then there will be a lot of
trouble if the official involved does not have a current licence. Officials need to
bring their licence with them when they “sign-on”. If people turn up to the track without their
licence and/or it has expired, then we need to get them to fill in a ‘trainee
licence form’ to cover them and for insurance for that day.So please make sure you have your licence with you.
Bring it along even if it is expired so we can get the Licence number and give
you information for getting it made valid. A
link to the forms on the CAMS website is below:
Thank
you to all Flaggies who expressed their interest in upgrading their Licence to
Bronze. Gavin is in contact with CAMS in reference to the UPGRADES. He will
keep you informed when information comes through.Anyone who has not replied to Gav’s email
can see him about it at the next Meet.
More shirts have been ordered for our members. We will let you know
when they arrive.
There
is an update to WASCC Racing Calendar for this year. The Trucks will be here
again at Barbagallo Raceway. It will be on Friday 12 & Saturday 13th
November …. More details to be confirmed soon.
If
anyone would like to hear about what it is like to do flagging duties in a
different state/different racetrack, then speak to Dennis. He went to Darwin
last month and participated in flagging for the V8 Race Meet at Hidden Valley. He
said it was a terrific Race Meet, very exciting and the Organisers put on a
banquet for the volunteers/officials ………..more than a kilometre of food he said !!! …….well maybe more like a
hundred metres ! ……… a real feast !
