CrazyDave Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 8 hours ago, Banker said: Marshals should be getting paid by IOMG out of substantial budget, say £50 per day plus some travel expenses. Ridiculous relying on volunteers for such a large profitable event. Quoted for hilarity, in a world Where Marshalls are queuing up for a prime free seat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 .. but they're not queuing up are they? Isn't there a shortage of marshals until the last moment? Do they decide to go with fewer marshals to allow the event to take place??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of franchising in general, but if you're going to, it needs to be a name that sells stuff.

A recruitment drive this time of the year could get some interest going. There was someone on the news this morning doing just this… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are the first and last sessions 'under marshalled', does that mean that the event should not take place~???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sign in Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 If the first and last Marshalling sessions are thinly supervised and there's money in the pot to do so (which is doubtful IMO), then this would be the opportune time to consider a small payment or other advantage like airfare/seafare/food/free felt with a choice of colour/whatever? Can't see it happening myself or does someone think its got legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyDave Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 "Barbary West Coast" now confirmed as opening in what is currently The Highwayman. Does this make the rumours of one opening in Ramsey less likely to be true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this make the rumours of one opening in Ramsey less likely to be true? 500m from the coast though. They'll have to rename it the Barbary A Bit Inshore. Interestingly already removed from the Brewery website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
