A few words from Mr Disco...

Here at Beermountain, we play very close attention to "quality control". In 1998 the Board set up a selection panel, of which I was appointed the Chief Examining Officer. This has been nearly 100% effective at avoiding dodgy team appointments -something we have suffered from in the past.

The trick, as you no doubt know is, you don't want total "beer monsters" in the team, but you don't want "anoraks" with meat paste sandwiches and a flask of luke warm lemon squash either...it's a delicate balance, and something we felt needed the "science bit" to weed out the no hopers!

Seen here for the first time in full is the team's 2004 entrance exam for prospective candidates - once potential team members have passed this challenge, they can move on to the practical exams and other selection tests, culminating in their first trip and (hopefully) the granting of a membership of an elite force.

From then on, a bit like the SAS, new recruits begin the their training in both general Le Man's and specialist areas.

Discipline is strict amongst our team. Conveniently, I also act as team judge, and each morning we hold a parade where fines (as well as medals) are awarded. You can see here a picture of the Baron being reprimanded for poor standards of cocktail making the previous evening...his fine was light this time - sharing a cabin with Buzz on the ferry.

Prospective candidates with at minimum of ten years LM experience, a large bust measurement, and a love of disco lights may apply for an on site interview during the 2004 race! I'll add a thread to the forum for any advance applications.
