Annual Awards 2022

We announced the South Midlands annual awards after the AGM on 29 October.

This year our Member of the Year is Ian Greenwood, a Track Marshal at Silverstone. Ian has demonstrated that, despite suffering a serious illness, he has persevered with marshalling in 2022 and has provided strong leadership and guidance for new marshals on his own initiative. Unfortunately Ian was not able to join us in the evening, but had been surprised by being presented with his award by Chris at sign-on for the Birkett that morning.

Our New Marshal of the Year, and recipient of the Lesley Harris Trophy, is Ian Whiting, a Trainee Track Marshal at Silverstone. Ian readily offered to take on a committee role when the grading officer post became vacant and, despite having the challenge of adapting to the new marshals pathway, has offered sound advice and answers to queries regarding grading issues. Ian received his trophy after the AGM from June Copeland.
