Could all crews remember to keep tightly together when waiting to spin, but still leave enough room for spinning crews to get out quickly.

Equally could spinning crews do so swiftly, tap turns look lovely, but if there is a queue then please spin QUICKLY and move out of the spinning area.

and I don't know why I'm adding this when someone mentioned it only the other day, but spin in pairs when you can, speeds up the whole process...

and don't try and overtake as you leave the spinning area at haystacks, very stupid thing to do round that corner...

Adding to the nagging - please don't coach in the spinning area either. Move off and then stop for a chat, and when you do this, tuck in.

And please, if someone is already half way spun, don't start to spin when you arrive and trap them in the spinning area whilst you take ages faffing around. Wait until they've moved off to spin.

Also, even if you arrive at roughly the same time, ask permission to spin with other crews and then if they say yes, fine.
