Marshals from Accrington MSC were at Wern Ddu near Ruthin this weekend to help organise 2 days of practical training for motorsport volunteers. Modules included timing, radio, fire training and first on scene.

The training provided all delegates the opportunity to practice their skills in a safe, none-competitive environment and gave an invaluable insight into the work of other teams, including rescue and recovery.

The event concluded with an incident scenario where the whole team of  marshals, radio crew and rescue teams worked together to deal with an unconscious casualty.

Final instructions have been sent out to all competitors for the next Autosolo, Autotest and Production Car Autotest to take place at Blackburn Services, M65 J4 on Sunday 16 February 2020.

If you’re not entering, why not come along and marshal or spectate? First competitive car starts at 11am and we should be done by 3.30pm. Discount vouchers will be available at signing-on.

Motorsport UK has announced a number of changes for 2020 that will affect the events run by our club and all UK motor clubs.
Permit Fees
All Motorsport UK Per Capita Permit fees are increasing by a flat fee of £5 per entrant across all events. Motorsport UK have issued the following statement – “At a grass roots level, this can represent a higher proportionate increase. With the introduction of the free RS Clubman licence – for which many people pay in the existing equivalent licence type – the financial contribution from the competitor will be made via permits, representing a shift to a ‘pay-as-you-play’ system. In general, the shift better reflects a fair differential between the various permit tiers”
The above change unfortunately means that entry fees for all events run by the above three clubs will increase by a minimum of £5 to make the running of the events financially viable for the clubs.
Licences
Please read the information in the following link – New Motorsport UK RS Clubman licence from 2020.Due to these changes, all drivers and passengers need to obtain this new ‘FREE’ licence for 2020 if they wish to continue to enter the Autosolo, Autotest and PCA events run by the above three clubs and any similar events run by other motor clubs. You can find more information about the RS Clubman licence and a link to the licence application here: https://www.motorsportuk.org/2020-rs-clubman-licence/Over the last 3 years, the clubs have continued to invest new equipment to run our events to give you the competitor a great day out. We hope you will continue to enjoy the events at Blackburn and Lymm. We shall continue to monitor costs and entry numbers at our events.

Thank you from the organising team.
