Marshal Training

Post by **Smithy jnr** » Mon Nov 08, 2004 1:00 pm

The CCDA are working on a marshal training program and the training manual will be out by Xmas. The first practical weekend for marshal training will be 19 & 20 March 2005. Some of the top drivers will be at the Ateco Venue, Gippsland, to put the marshals through their paces.
The idea is to have a program that marshals will enjoy and this will help event organisers to run events with consistent decisions from informed officials.

I have a meeting on Tuesday with Leon and Mike and were gunna try to formalise how it all will work with regards to everything. The main aim is to standardise everything and the start will be a training program in March where we will go thru all the rules of competiting, demonstrate what they all mean in a practical sense, comprise a list of what is required with regards to gear (whistles, hand held radios, stopwatch, ect...) and so on.
Its good that Rudi is going thru some rules but the CCDA are trying to give marshalls an accrediaton so a course will need to be done.
As the time gets closer we will inform you again but it will be advertised on the CCDA calander and website.

The idea is to get a program sorted with us lot, then the program can be rolled out by ther NSW fellas when it suits and when needed.

All the paperwork side of the program is being finalised over Xmas and will be ready in the new year. Keep the above mentioned dates in March free so that those that wanna learn can and if youre not already a CCDA member, join up. There will also be 2 theory nights held the week leading up to the weekend, held on either side of Melb and I will i let you know whene and where these will be.

Let us know if you want any support from 4wd TV.

Our other business (The National Institute of Education) is also a government accredited and Registered Training Organisation. This may be of benefit in providing a Nationally accredited and recognised certificate for the qualification. We are also licensed to provide nationally accredited first aid courses...which I'm sure you have already thought would be a great module for the qualification.

Cheers.

Hey - are CCDA memberships due now its the end of the year or is it by anniversary date :?:

Post by **okz00k** » Fri Dec 31, 2004 7:54 pm

CCDA memberships have been extended until 30 June 2005. This aligns with the membership clauses of the new National consititution, and reduces the registrar's workload over the Christmas/New Year period. All subscriptions now fall due on 1 July each year.

whats the go with membership for officials only, not competitors?? I dont mind officializing, have done it since 1988 with superbikes, and GPs since they entered aussie, numerous 100 club days, and state titles etc..

Post by **GUJohnno** » Sun Jan 02, 2005 1:52 pm

Any idea of the cost of this course, and how much is it to join the CCDA?

Post by **okz00k** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 8:01 am

For CCDA details, refer to http://CCDA.info

We ask that every spectator, competitor and event marshal consider becoming a member. We also hope that anyone else interested in the future of four wheel drive competitions joins up and offers their support. You can join by sending in the membership application form today

The membership fee is only $20 per annum.
Download the membership application form from http://ccda.4wd.org.au/files/CCDAdocs/C ... ipForm.pdf application form and post or fax it.

Sounds good..
Is a first Aid Cert required for all marshalls?

Post by **Chucky** » Wed Jan 26, 2005 1:45 pm

Sounds like a great idea. Just need to have a course run up in brissy. Also has anyone given any ithought to a safety course for marshalls. At the battle of the codes I noticed a huge lack of crowd control, no defined first aid areas and no fire marshalls in site, people not wearing gloves and helmits while competeing etc. In some cases the crowd including kids who were sitting down, were within a couple feet in front of the trucks as they tried to turn around. All it would have taken is a slipped foot off the clutch and they would be gone. I just think that there should be one safety conduct code for all comps to follow. I think that this should be a seperate course, after all you don't need to know how the points are scored or the finer details of the rules if your job is to keep everyone safe.

Mr Smith gave a talk on it at our last club meeting too...

Post by **bogged** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 10:05 pm

So does everyone know the rulebook inside out yet?

Post by **MYTTUF** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 9:34 am

Yes I do and I also know the questions too!!

On a serious note........
Remember that this marshal training is for the benefit of us all and you will need to be an accrediated marshall to help out at any CCDA events including OutBack & Alpine Challenge, Ateco & Vic Winch Challenge and possibly NavRun events(if they are CCDA events) (Rudi will let us know!!).
The program will be rolled out nationally when we fine tune it in Vic so the other states will follow suit soon.
