We've had a lot of complaints and this was the solution.

First and most importantly we need to streamline the racing day and make Rog's job easier. That means setting the race control software to auto

Far too many people being very slow to get out to marshal - most races end up with all the drivers on the grid and no marshals. Putting the timing on auto actually makes things worse, because the race starts before the marshals turn up, so some sort of penalty is needed.

The flipside is that absent or poor quality marshalling has lead to some rather colourful words being yelled from the rostrum. We are a family club in a public place and as such that can't be permitted. It doesn't mean you can't call Budfish a C**t to his face, just don't yell it from the rostrum.

The final one is probably my fault - when I ran the meeting a couple of weeks back I got so fed up of the moaning, whinging and gripeing of some people I nearly packed up and went home ending the meeting. Race control can be bloody hard at times (when stuff isn't working) but without it no racing happens. It might be frustrating that its missed your laps but shouting at the guy frantically trying to locate the problem doesn't help.

However there is an upside, in theory at least. If everyone is out to marshal quickly, does it well and stays calm we can squeeze an extra round of racing into the day by removing dead time. Thats got to be better.....
