BMMC question
I am thinking of marshalling at BMCRC Brands Hatch 25th September.
My questions are, if BMMC is a marshals club why are there no bike meetings listed in the volunteering/insurance section. And are us BMMC members not covered by the insurance they provide, If we are how do I get the insurance cover. Mick |

ACU take care of most club bike meets in the uk from everything like trials to some speedway events (dont quote me on that), anything on 2 or 3 wheels (unless its reliant robin racing!), saying that racesafe does BSB, WSB and moto gp. (i wish somebody told me this when i started 8 months ago!).
you will need to do seperate training, acu training isnt a must but RS is and you only have a limited time to sign up, which is why ive missed out on this year's... insurance is automatic no matter who you marshal with in most of the developed world's events. the bmmc one is better they cover your travel to and from the event you do need to log the meetings you will do though, which is why i dont bother but it's a hell of an idea. are you more of a bike marshal? bmmc requires a yearly subscription but to my understanding when i apply later this month to racesafe you pay a one off fee of £20 which gets you overalls and the like. i hope this helps... |

I just fancied doing a couple of clubby type bike meetings. Thats my point if you have to log the meeting for insurance then how do you do it re BMMC |

You can contact the regional competition secretary for your region, and they can arrange insurance for you - especially if you've not used the BMMC volunteering web form, which covers you automatically (I believe). Contact details for each region are on the BMMC website.

There is no strict need to let us know in advance but we would consider it a favour if you did, since it can only help in the case of a claim - which we sincerely hope will not happen! Enjoy your day at Brands. |
