• Added 2.1.6 to remind people that they need to send in their own signed form.
• 2.1.7 reminds Senior Marshals that they must have their card back from Lists before they can perform authorisations - they can't do it from their own paperwork, they must be a valid senior marshal in the system on the date they perform someone else's authorisation.
