thewitch Wrote: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...

The following (serious) quote from the 2004 Gorse Lea Marshals' Report Number 2 refers to the practical solution to the Warrant Card problem. I understand that our "patent" was adapted soon after for their marshals' tabards by the progressive S100 Club.

"Fashion Note: Sector Marshal Alexander spent some time at the Harold Leece Shelter and has expressed his approval for our customised warrant card holders that we've had stitched to our marshal waistcoats, replacing the obstructive arm-bands. These are soon to be patented, so remember where they began!"
