Greet Sir waving attendance list (8)

I believe the answer is:

'attendance list' is the definition.
(eg a school register)

'greet sir waving' is the wordplay.
'waving' is an anagram indicator (letters wave around).
'greet'+'sir'='greetsir'
'greetsir' anagrammed gives 'REGISTER'.

(Other definitions for register that I've seen before include "Offical roll of names" , "Official record of names etc." , "part of our paper" , "Log" , "Official list or record" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
