Update 20th May

Observations from an Assembly Marshal:

Numbers - those big numbers you have to put on the front and side are there so that the trackside marshals and officials know who you are in case of an incident. Please make sure that they are clear and legible - if in doubt see the ACU handbook. Also for PR6 parades - put a 'p' on your numbers!

Noticed that the liquid in some header tanks (on water cooled machines) were coloured, remember that water only is permitted, reason being that glycol etc is slippery as hell if it gets on the track.

Make sure your noise testing sticker is clearly shown (remove any old ones) because without one you cannot go out on track.

Helmets- might be obvious but make sure they are fastened up properly - and any dangling strap tucked out of the way - a flapping strap might look light your lid isn't fastened and could get you black flagged.

Grid positions, the grid layout is shown in the programme, on a board in assembly, and row markers (should be) trackside. So first race your position is in the programme, subsequent races you get a sticker going into assembly.

I was concerned about the numbers of people wandering around in the assembly area. I am sure you have a legitimate reason for being there - bump starting perhaps? -but please wear some hi-viz and make yourself known to the assembly marshal. We don't want anyone run over in assembly (and of course, no under 16s allowed unless riding).

Did have a small panic as a race was due to go out and a competitor hadn't signed on in the race office. You must sign on, and if your name is highlighted in the office then see Carole- she might have something for you.

If you send in your entry by email then you can sign the form in person at the circuit, if by post then it might be an idea to send Carole a text with your name and rider number stating you have posted your entry.

Why not get more involved with the club? We have plenty of roles and positions for all ages, abilities and availability. Always looking for more Technical Officials (Scrutineers), Noise Testers, Committee members especially Treasurer and Chair. Training, help and support is given with all of these.

Next race meeting - Anglesey, on the fantastic Coastal circuit, can't wait...

Update 20th April 2022

23^rd April is the closing date for the Cadwell Park meeting on 14^th and 15^th May so if you intend going, get your entry in. Unfortunately, due to prior commitments our racing friends from BSSO will not be joining us but we will have a full programme of 2 and 3 wheel action.

We will hopefully be able to carry out some noise testing on the Friday evening as well as on race days where we will try our best to do this in practice session order to help reduce any queuing. More details in final instructions or the programme.

If you are phoning Carole with queries or payment can you limit these calls to between 6pm and 9pm and if you send your entries by email can you add an extra £1 to cover the posting out of your tickets and technical inspection card. Remember that tickets etc are usually only sent out about a week before the event so please be patient.

If you are looking to renew your ACU licence the affiliation code is now available through BHR, so instead of phoning Allen House, drop me an email with a picture of your current VMCC membership and I can send your code by return.

The rest of the season for 2022 after Cadwell:

11/12th June at Anglesey. Rounds 5 and 6.

23/24th July at Pembrey. Rounds 7 and 8.

13/14th August at Darley Moor. Rounds 9 and 10.

24/25th September at Cadwell Park. Rounds 11 and 12.

We will endeavour to email out the entry forms and regulations as soon as they become available as well as putting them onto the forum and bhronline.

As always, we want to encourage those who would like to get involved behind the scenes. We have opportunities for Technical Inspectors, Marshals, Stewards and Clerks as well as other roles. Information, support and training is available for these so if you fancy giving some of your time to enable us to go racing then please let us know. Many of these roles only require a few hours of time during a race weekend and would not stop anyone supporting their own crew or prevent spectating.
