South Mids Training Day - Different Format

I think most of us are fed up of the same old, same old, Training Days, so the South Mids Region of the BMMC are running something a bit different next January at Rockingham.

Have a read below and see what you think, if you're interested please fill in the volunteering form below and forward to Elaine Brice (address at the bottom).

VOLUNTEERING FORM
BMMC TRAINING DAYS
23RD OR 24TH JANUARY 2016
ROCKINGHAM MOTOR SPEEDWAY
Ready for something different?
Fed up of power point presentations?
Want some ’real’ practical training?
Then this is the event for you!
(Both days will be the same so you can attend either Saturday or Sunday
Firstly, the intention is that everybody will attend all modules being presented, (though not all MSA training modules are being included), in small groups, on a round robin basis throughout the morning, this will include fire training. The groups will be interactive, giving everybody the opportunity to learn and pass on their knowledge, whilst still covering all the requirements of the MSA.
After the lunch break everyone will re-convene in the inner paddock for the practical training. This will take the form of a mini race meeting, the ‘BMMC Training Stakes’ a two race series!
All attendees will be allocated to posts or duties according to their grades, with each sector on the track having an experienced marshal/trainer allocated to it, to oversee all activities and to ensure everything is carried out in a safe manner and to give guidance and assistance as required.
This will be run as much like a real race meeting as possible, with the exception of no actual judicial procedures following any reports and including real race cars and some rolling wrecks, but they will not be driven at racing speed. All incidents will be planned and stage managed but only the trainers and drivers will have the script. Those of you on post need to be prepared for anything to happen. This will be followed by a de-brief in the paddock at the end.
Please complete all sections and indicate whether you will attend on the Saturday or the Sunday:
Saturday 23rd Sunday 24th
Name __________________________________________
Telephone _______________________
Address __________________________________________________________________________
Email ____________________________________________________________________________
Current grade _____________________________________________________________________
Upgrading to ______________________________________________________________________
Do you aspire to any other role in motorsport? ___________________________________________
If so we will endeavour to give you some insight into that role during the day.
If anyone has any queries regarding these days please contact Elaine Brice direct on either elaine.brice@btinternet.com or sm.training@marshals.co.uk
