Me and the Mrs signed on online and went to collect our warrants etc on Thurs of practice week only to be told, no programs left, no packs, no 2015 bar, no drinks cup and no Bushys beer token. Just the privilege of paying £15 for a program necessary for carrying out our, albeit voluntary, jobs.
Maybe they could have some type of system which allocates a pack to every marshal who signs on online or by post, and then any remaining packs go to the ones who just turn up at the IOMTT marshals hut to volunteer, just a thought.

It wouldn't be that hard to have a list of marshalls that have actually marshalled previously and make them a priority, over say people who maybe do it a few times and turn up for the programmes etc?
most marshalls I see are the same every year, which is obviously a good thing so why upset them?

Apparently, TTMA were allocated 1600 programmes, BUT I believe we had in excess of 1800 marshals sign on.
I agree re system needed to address, ie, the organisers need to provide more, or TTMA have to put in place some criteria to be eligible to receive a pack as we now do for priority SP bookings, and/or for those who sign on online etc.
PS Andy, sorry, I actually think I got one of the last two packs on the Thursday of practice week before they were restocked, others in the office behind me didn't get any, around 10.30am.

Simple request.
Please revert to numerical start order with exceptions moved up or down (and accompanying pencilled in changes to the programme)

Don't get the "expensive repair bills" bit they would be standard road bikes.
the stock motors didnt last the distance at continuious high speed and the higher end teams didnt like that
not sure how true the actual faliure rate was but they quoted it was better going with race preped bikes rather than stock
think it was 2002 that there was a 600 production class might have only been 1 or 2 years it ran
