A reminder that the nominations window for these awards closes on 31 October.
Celebrating the commitment and dedication of our volunteering and club community, these four awards showcase the best that British motorsport has to offer. You can show how your club and members are going the extra mile to be the backbone of motorsport. More information about each award and how to nominate can be found on the Motorsport UK website.
The first series of Event Secretary and Event Steward workshops will commence at the end of this month. The Scottish workshop will be held at the Dunblane Hydro Hotel on 19 November.
All individuals who are interested in, or actively perform these roles, are encouraged to take part although attendance is not mandatory. These workshops will be as hands-on as possible and will provide an opportunity to learn more about the duties involved, develop existing skills share experience with others. While all are welcome to attend, attendance is particularly encouraged from those within the grassroots disciplines of the sport.
Due to the limited space available, preference will be given to those who primarily carry out Event Secretary or Event Steward duties and are not already licensed Motorsport UK Stewards or Clerks of the Course. Seminars for Licensed Motorsport UK Stewards and Clerks of the Course will take place in early 2023.
To register for a workshop, please complete the registration form HERE. Attendees will be able to claim their mileage at the rate of 45p per mile for up to 100 miles each way and lunch and other refreshments will also be provided.
If you cannot attend any of the initial dates, there will be a second series of workshops taking place in January and February 2023 although provisional locations for these workshops do not include a Scottish venue.
The next round of the Scottish Navigational Rally Championship is the Hairst, run by Stonehaven & DMC on 1st October.
Bruce Lyle was unanimously appointed as Chair of the Association on an interim basis until the next Annual General Meeting.
This is a key appointment for the Association as not only does it provide us with the leadership the Association needs at this time but Bruce will also, over the next few months, oversee the recruitment of a successor.
A successful and experienced former competitor himself, Bruce has held varied senior positions across Scottish motorsport over many years including representing Scotland on the Motor Sports Council.
