South Midlands Training Day
Just a quick reminder about the Sth Mids training day on Saturday 28th Feb. It is mainly a theory day, as practical was at Mallory a couple of weeks ago, covering everything bar fire training. Location is Sandy Village Hall, SG19 1BN, starting at 1000hrs. Arrive early, coffee/tea available. A buffet lunch will be supplied, if you are a ''veggie'' let us know. Contact details are caroline.ts@btinternet.com or PM me BEFORE Thursday 26th so I can pass on any information. Anybody welcome, no matter which region you are with.

Chris, next year can you organise the training day so that it will not clash with the VSCC pomeroy trophy meeting at Silverstone. the VSCC also have an MSA approved training morning at this meeting.This clash has happened before.

Bob, this training day was arranged before the end of last season, before this years fixtures were announced. Maybe the VSCC meeting should be held on a Sunday instead.

The Pom has always taken place on a Saturday and for the last 3 years has had training session at the meeting. It is only since 2008 that our training day
has been moved from Sunday ( the last one was at the Honda F1 headquarters) to Saturday |

Yes-the info I was sent just said to take some something warm and waterproof and maybe your marshalling gloves. Think there's some sort of rescue training going on but don't quote me on that!

Everything bar fire training on Saturday. There will be a rescue unit to show you, and how everything on board works. Flagging too. A novice session. Lunch provided, also for our veggie friends.Tea and coffee provided. A limited amount of regalia should also be available. All the South Midlands Committee will be there ''entertaining'' you, along with Chris Hobson, the BMMC Chairman, to answer any questions anybody may have. See you all there.

A note to thank you to everyone who attended our training day today. Over 50 people there, our best attendance for a theory based day. Thanks also to the organisers, the MSV Rescue unit, Mike for his input as a driver, and an excellant buffet lunch. Good to see so many ''novices'' there too.

Yes David I forgot to mention the awards that Tony won. The South Midlands New Marshal of the Year, and the John Nicol Trophy which is a National trophy. Well Done TONY.

I thought it might have been but didn't want to jump to the conclusion.
Well done Tony, I know how much work you put into your marshaling & the awards are richly deserved. Hopefully you get to enjoy your racing as much as your marshaling Col |

Just to say thank you to everyone for making this such a great day. As usual I learnt loads - and thought that all the presentations were really interesting. Thanks to everyone who organised it - I can't begin to imagine how much time and effort you must freely give.
As mentioned in the thread already I was very shocked but humbled and honoured to receive the two trophys. The regional one one was honour enough - but I was simply stunned and wholly speechless for hours to receive the national award. Of course it is all down to the help and encouragement I have received from you guys - whether experienced or new, across the months. So a huge thank you to you all. |
