BMMC SW Region Training Day 2018

It gives me great pleasure to inform everybody that the regions marshals training day has been confirmed as the 10th March 2018 at the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection (BDAC), Old Sarum Airfield, Salisbury.

The full address of the venue is: Hangar 1, Old Sarum Airfield, Old Sarum, Salisbury SP4 6DZ.

Please note that this is not at Boscombe Down Airfield, despite the Boscombe Aviation Museum name.

This is the same venue that we used in 2017 and the club wishes to thank the curators at BDAC and Gareth at Patrex Safety Solutions for hosting us and providing a venue suitable for training.

In order to attract as many marshals to our training day and also to cater for as many disciplines as possible please take note of the following timings:

Sign on for all marshals will be from 0800.

If you are a Kart Marshal: Sign on will be from 0800. The day will finish at 1600.

If you are not a kart marshal:
Sign on will be from 0800. The morning is dedicated to multi-discipline training, after lunch will be the Kart specific training. You are free to stay for the morning and undertake the multi-discipline training or for the whole day.

If you are an Experienced Kart Marshal (or upgrading to this grade): Sign on will be from 0800. The day will finish at 1600.

The morning sessions will be dedicated to:

  • Fire Theory & Fire Practical
  • First Marshal on Scene (FMOS) including Basic Life Support

These modules apply to all disciplines, so even if you’re not a kart marshal, you are still more than welcome to attend the morning of the training day and gain these signatures or to refresh your knowledge on these modules. You will still be entitled to lunch and you will have the opportunity to learn more about the karting discipline should you wish too.

Training for Experienced Kart Marshals will be conducted in the afternoon and will cover:

  • Flag
  • Communications
  • Report Writing
  • Leadership

How do I apply?

  • Email myself directly with your name, MSA ID (If known) and any specific dietary requirements at alexhodgkinson@live.co.uk or sw.training@marshals.co.uk
  • Volunteer through the BMMC Volunteering system
  • Volunteer through marshals.org.uk

If at any point you are unsure if your request has been received, please email me at the above addresses.

I look forward to welcoming you all in 2018!
