More Marshals please

Last Updated: 25 November 2022 25 November 2022

As the regular riders should have noticed,  the Marshalling situation at our meetings has improved since the middle of 2021.  There are two reason for this. 

1) Nikki Moss-Robins, with a lot of support from hubby Mark (Rider 966), started organising the Marshals in advance of the meeting.  

2) Liz Bond was appointed as regular Chief Marshal.

With the help of these great volunteers we no longer have to plead over the tannoy for more help and we can avoid the dreaded pre-practice raffle to top-up the marshals numbers from the rider pool. There are also less obvious improvements, such as a more knowledgeable and skilled group of marshals.

However,  we can’t sit back and be complacent.  This will only continue to work if Nikki & Mark has a large pool of potential marshals to call upon before each meeting.  If you want to know more please contact any of the Pre65 Committee,  or email the Club Steward using the online form here.  You can also talk to us at the AGM or Telford Show.

Roy Patten/John Waylett Trophy event.

Last Updated: 11 June 2019 11 June 2019

We were blessed with good fortune throughout the preparation and running of last weekends meeting. Fortunate in that we had an enthusiastic work party assemble on Saturday who threw themselves at erecting the track and also a passionate chairman. He journeyed all the way home to collect his tractor and bowser and then spent the evening and early morning damping down the bone hard ground. Boy didn’t it make conditions far more enjoyable for competitors and spectators alike. Even Di came out of retirement to welcome a host of visitors keen to witness proceedings.

Dave Savill had organised nine marshals for us prior to the occasion so, come nine thirty the Chief Marshal was giving out his instructions and Practise was underway around 9.45.

Racing commenced with all classes keenly contested throughout the first session. The John Waylett trophy went to Ray Wood aboard his Challenger with Steve Billot second and a young upstart by the name of Pete Griffiths third. Most fitting as, like the patron of the Trophy who owned one, he was aboard a Maico.

Mandatory Fire Extinguishers

Last Updated: 25 April 2019 25 April 2019

To comply with the AMCA rulebook every rider must have a 2kg fire extinguisher in their vehicle. 

AMCA stewards will be performing random checks throughout the year so please ensure you have an extinguisher at every meeting.  Also consider displaying it in a prominent position to help the stewards and make it easy to find in an emergancy.
