It gives me great pleasure in confirming that the South West will be holding a kart marshals training day on the10th March 2018.
Every year the south west region organises a bespoke training day for a particular motorsport discipline so that the marshals can remain up to date on the latest procedures within the sport and also network amongst other marshalling organisations and marshals from various circuits and disciplines.
Marshals training days are an important component of motorsport – ensuring events run smoothly and safely for all concerned; as well as providing quality opportunities for individuals to develop their own skills and knowledge in all disciplines and activities, as well as obtaining the relevant signatures to support upgrade applications.
We will be once again taking advantage of the training facilities at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury where we have access to indoor and outdoor areas where the training is delivered as well as the fire fighting training area on site to allow marshals to undertake practical fire fighting training under the watchful eye of the airfield fire service. A free lunch to all attendees will be provided and there will also be free tea and coffee available all day.
All of the instructors at the training day are MSA Licensed Trainers and will be delivering the latest content from the MSA training syllabus. Any marshal in possession of a Kart Personal Record Card (PRC) should bring this with them so that the training signatures can be signed by the licensed trainers.
I look forward to seeing you and your marshals in 2018!
