SACC Training Programme 2017
As
you may be aware SACC have been fortunate in securing a
substantial amount of grant aid from the British Motor Sports Training
Trust to support their programme which is designed to support the
training of new marshals, and the development of existing ones, across
all disciplines. The training programme can be found at
SACC
are currently publicising this training direct to club officials,
through the SACC and SMMC Websites, on social media and will shortly be
writing to all registered marshals. However the most effective
way of recruiting marshals to attend these events is through the local
clubs. It is, therefore, disappointing that the first two events
of the year are looks very thin on numbers. For these events to
be viable we need to have at least 15-20 delegates, both to achieve a
good training environment, and to enable us to continue to secure the
valuable time of our volunteer instructors. As I am sure you will
be aware, like other events, some of our expenditure starts to be
incurred in advance of the event itself.
SACC do ask people to
pre-register and this helps them to ensure the correct amount of
training materials are provided, as well as helping them ensure good
value for money from the Association’s (your!) funds. As a
result SACC will be reviewing the number of registered delegates two
weeks before each event to decide whether they are viable.
The
last thing Rupert wants to do is to start cancelling training
events. With the pressure on marshal numbers and the need to
ensure our marshals are operating at (trained to) the highest standards
this would be a real own-goal for Scottish Motorsport.
So
whilst hoping you had a good festive season, we have been asked to
promote the training opportunities in your area/disciplines as one of
your New Year resolutions?
