So does preferring to flag make you a bad marshal ?
I'm just starting out marshalling again but since I'm now old and fat I'm rapidly realising that I'm not really fit enough to go running through gravel traps carrying heavy extinguishers. I can (just about) manage it and as a trainee again I'm happy to try but I reckon I'd probably be more genuine use on the flags (and I have always enjoyed flagging). At least that might allow one other fitter better incident-trained marshal to do what s/he prefers.
I'd like to think that there's something useful for all of us to do but I'm seeing the point of the grading scheme as ensuring that we all are capable in a pinch of doing any of the important tasks. If it was up to me I'd also include at least a day or so in the other specialities. If you've never tried Pits/Startline or Assembly are you certain you wouldn't like it
?
