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?
