Your warrant card is the card in your armband, and it has on it the terms and duties of a marshal, space to record your sessions, your details etd. I find the actual armband a nuisance as it slips off my arm, but I have been told that cutting the armband and sewing the holder to your tabard is not allowed... why don't we get credit card sized credentials like the ACU ones? Much handier, and maybe in the long term chipped.
I advocated this for licences, so they could be chipped and then record your races for, say, 5 years, removing the need for the silly 6 qualifying races rule... all places, and also misdemeanors would be recorded at every race (internationally?)
In the case of marshals you could build up a credit... like your Tesco card (not mine, I hate 'em, but that's another story!).
Come on... it's the 21st century now...



Rightly or wrongly because of problems with my armband slipping from my arm i have been placing my Warrant Card inside a pass holder around my neck. I often had cause for concern that in the event of dealing with an incident where would i stand if my warrant card had fallen from my possession. Putting my concerns aside, i truly believe the time has come for a more practical, user friendly means of displaying the warrant card. How much does it cost to issue new warrant card holders every TT and or MGP to regular Marshalls?. As with earlier postings perhaps we should be looking at reusable warrant cards.

Many apolgies this was my posting, Lewy15 is my son and i had not realised he was logged in. Perhaps we should have a newcomers entry on this forum. Some of us need a few more practise laps.
