News: From the Chair

….support your regional committees and National Council.  Regional committees have completed their AGMs and the National AGM takes place this Sunday 3 December.  Have you considered joining a committee?  Have you asked to see what is involved?  As a membership organisation we make decisions on your behalf – but do you want to play a bigger part in this […]

The BMMC is a completely volunteer organisation – run by volunteers for volunteers. Without the volunteers who sit on Committees and Boards for the club we would not function and be able to provide the services that we offer to our members. It is therefore vitally important that our critical roles are covered to ensure […]

We started the month with an EGM on 5 September to agree the changes to the rules and governance of the club.  Huge thanks to John Edwards (Nat Sec) and all the Governance review team for taking the time to piece together these importance documents.  This means that we are now in full compliance with Companies House […]

Throughout August there has been a noticeable drop off in marshalling numbers – due to holiday season.  However, from the recent surveys conducted by ourselves and Motorsport UK it is clear that we are being more choosy about the events we attend.  Travelling costs are having an impact and people are definitely picking events further away from […]

Anglesey at the beginning of July saw CSCC hold their 24 hour event – some apprehension from the club but they needn’t have worried.  The marshals who came from near and far (!) did sterling work to make the event a success.  A few tired people by the time we finished on Sunday lunchtime but many hope […]

We are halfway through another busy year and much has happened with much to do! Race Committee was held in Bicester in mid June.  This is a specific discipline committee discussing all matters related to Race events and I have this seat as BMMC Chair.  Discussions centred around the re-write of the National Championship Regulations (NCRs) […]

This season seems to be racing ahead quite literally and I can’t believe we are into June already! The beginning of May saw our clubs’ 25th Anniversary Sprint at Curborough.  The weather wasn’t too kind on the Saturday but the rain was not as heavy as elsewhere!  We also celebrated the King’s coronation with a veritable feast […]

Photo: Peter Hamilton April was a busy month with most venues seeing some form of activity – including stage rallies at some of the circuits. I was out and about at Oulton Park, Donington and Goodwood and May looks set to be a busy month too. There have been a few big incidents at various […]

At the North East committee held on 20 March 2023, Lynne Kendall advised she has decided to stand down as North East Chair and National Training Officer with immediate effect. Lynne has been on the North East Regional Committee for 16 years undertaking a significant number of roles including Newsletter Editor, Media Officer, Grading Officer, […]

Training days are well underway and more planned across the regions. I attended the training day at Oulton Park where I assisted the training team with a record fifty plus new marshals!  Great interactions with our longer standing members too and acceptance of the new Pathway modules. We also had Lille Racewear in attendance to help take […]

We had a great 4 days at Autosport in January.  Well done to the Midlands team for organising the stand and cars – it looked great!  Thanks to everyone who visited us and helped out – we took a number of names of people interested in marshalling and also gave out leaflets to prospective new members.  We also […]

I hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year – taken time out, had some relaxation time and a little bit of fun!  Time to start thinking about 2023. Event calendars are coming together and we hope to launch the volunteering system soon – a few dates to iron out but some interesting […]
