Each year the SE region committee are set a challenge to consider the presentation of the various awards available to our members. These consist of two ‘annual’ awards and two ‘long-term’ awards.
The committee decided, due to the unique nature of the 2020 season, that no annual trophies would be presented for 2020.
It is a pleasure to announce the presentation of the following long-service awards.

John Davallou Trophy

Bryan Degerlund “Awarded by the Southeast Region Committee for Outstanding Services to Marshalling”

Norrie Bergin Trophy

Neil Stretton “For Long Standing Contribution to Motorsports in the Southeast Region”

Many congratulations to you both.

Cancelled: Brands Hatch 20/21 Feb 2021

Cancelled: Snetterton 24 Jan 2021

Please note the following important announcement from Andy Lyle (MSV) in regard to the proposed marshal training weekend at Brands Hatch in February.

“Dear Marshal,
After days of discussion, both internally and in close association with MotorSport UK and assessing numerous scenarios to establish if we could comply with the various Government guidelines and still provide a professional and informative training weekend, a decision has reluctantly been made this afternoon (18/01/21) to CANCEL the training weekend at Brands Hatch scheduled for 20th/21st February 2021.
Despite unhelpful rumours that the event had already been cancelled some weeks ago, this was not the case, as mentioned above we have been working hard to find creative ways of running the training day(s), whilst also keeping everyone safe.
Moving forward, I did look at the possibility of running the training weekend later in the year, but with the race calendar full and changes happening daily, I can’t now see this happening. BMMC SE will endeavour, I’m sure, to hold their mid-year refresher courses for novice marshals and I’m also looking into the possible use of webinars and pre-recorded training modules supplied by MotorSport UK. If these proceed I’m sure BMMC SE and Mildred Wiltshire will circulate the necessary information on my behalf
Lastly, may I take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe race season and once this little bug has disappeared, getting back to some form of normality.”

Regards. Andy Lyle
