The Chairman’s Chatter….<br />
Paul Harris, South Midlands Chairman……..<br />
Welcome to the newsletter for the South<br />
Midlands Region….<br />
I have to start this Chatter on a rather sad note. No doubt you will all by now have<br />
heard of the death of yet another irreplaceable and much loved character in<br />
<strong>Motor</strong>sport. I speak of Howard Strawford the charismatic owner of Castle Combe<br />
Circuit in Wiltshire, who died on 23 rd February. He will be sorely missed not only at<br />
Combe, but in the wider aspects of our sport as well. It was he who resurrected the<br />
circuit from certain closure back in the ‘60’s and built it is to the very popular and well<br />
attended circuit that it is to day.<br />
Popular with everyone who marshalled at the circuit, in the days when he enjoyed better<br />
health, he would, at every meeting, walk round the circuit, stop at every post and ask if<br />
everything was all right, was your family ok and have a laugh and joke with all of us.<br />
This tradition carried on even when he became less able to walk so far, but it didn’t stop<br />
him coming round for a chat, because he used his golf cart to drive himself and his<br />
guests round the circuit and continued the tradition. A short obituary appears by kind<br />
permission of the Strawford family inside this edition.<br />
On a lighter note now, the season is getting under way; and I hope you have all<br />
managed to complete your volunteering forms and sent them off to the appropriate<br />
clubs. If you have not yet asked David Reed for insurance cover, please do, just in<br />
case (god forbid) anything happens to you; don’t forget that the insurance covers you<br />
from your home to the circuit, while you are marshalling and back to your home. It<br />
also helps the club to know how many days our members marshal when negotiating<br />
insurance cover for future years. New for this year is the repatriation insurance for<br />
those of you who marshal abroad, at only £10 for the year not per event a bargain.<br />
Don’t forget if you go abroad, your normal holiday insurance may not cover you for your<br />
marshalling duties.<br />
If you were not able to get to any of our 3 training days last month, then you missed out<br />
on a lot of fun, especially at the fire ground. I know that Clive Wayland apologised for<br />
the lack on heating on the Sunday but that was out of his and our control, hopefully it<br />
will not happen again. Plans are being put into place, for at least 1 evening training<br />
session later in the year, what that will be for, will, to a certain extent be up to you, let<br />
Clive Wayland know the type of training you require and we will do our best to<br />
accommodate you. It’s your club, it’s your training, make the most of it.<br />
The region organised and manned the club stand at this years Race Retro at<br />
Stoneleigh in February, not many potential members signed up but those who did<br />
seemed keen to join, if they do, I am sure they will be warmly welcomed. I would like to<br />
thank all the guys who helped on the stand over the 3 days, without their help we<br />
would not have been able to have a stand at all, especially as this year the show<br />
clashed with 2 of our training days.<br />

As you read through this edition you will notice that the South Midland Region now has a<br />
page on face book. It will be strictly administered by the committee, any comments<br />
posted that are detrimental to either the club or any member of the club will be deleted<br />
and the postee will be blocked. It is a forum for marshals to share their marshalling<br />
experiences not for “slagging” off other people. Please use it sensibly.<br />

HOWARD THOMAS STRAWFORD, R.I.P.<br />
Howard Strawford, the man who rescued the Castle Combe circuit from oblivion and built it<br />
into the most successful venue of its kind, sadly passed away in the early hours of<br />
Saturday 23 February, aged 77, following a stroke.<br />
Howard took the brave decision to purchase the circuit in 1976, and with his stalwart wife<br />
Pat providing constant support and encouragement, saved it from closure, going on to<br />
secure its future for the pleasure and satisfaction of innumerable drivers, riders, employees<br />
and spectators.<br />
The rich legacy of motorsport created by Howard will continue for the benefit of motorsport<br />
enthusiasts both locally, nationally and internationally.<br />
Howard and his wife Pat, on the occasion of Howard receiving a lifetime achievement<br />
award from the MSA for his work at Castle Combe.<br />

Editor’s Comments<br />
So, what’s been going on since the last newsletter, well quite a lot actually.<br />
There was the hole in the floor that needed welding, Paul managed to get this done.<br />
The trunking underneath the car needed packing out and put back on to help protect all the<br />
cables from being ripped out.<br />
The new exhaust was put on the car whilst it was up on the ramp.<br />
6
We had a mechanic that we had been put in touch with from Wantage that came and had a<br />
look at the car for us and apart from a couple things that still need to be done, i.e., a bar<br />
needs to be put in the back for the harnesses to be attached to, he was very happy indeed<br />
with the condition of the car and stated that he would more than happy to MOT the car for<br />
us and couldn’t see any other problems with it as it was still in very good condition for its’<br />
age. This was good news indeed and while this was going on I was standing back and<br />
watching them. Like little kids pottering about with their toys and Paul must have had the<br />
biggest grin on his fact going that day. To say he was happy with that outcome would have<br />
been an understatement, just wish I had taken a picture as he was grinning like the<br />
cheshire cat that had got the cream and then some.<br />
Paul also managed to get some harnesses for the car so it (Charlie) is looking more and<br />
more like a rally car now.<br />
We also went over to Castle Combe Race Circuit to Merlin <strong>Motor</strong>sports to have a look at<br />
some helmets and race suits and try on a few to see what would be the best ones to have.<br />
We’ve decided to go for the Bell open face helmet with comms built in.<br />
7
What else did we do then, oh yes, we went and marshalled the start of the Endurance<br />
Road Rally Champs, the XPart Rally round in Bury St Edmunds. I practised my<br />
navigational skills by getting us there, after a couple of detours, but in one piece we arrived<br />
at the start line.<br />
Whilst we were waiting for the rally to start I then plotted our route to the hotel for the<br />
evening part of the rally.<br />
8
Whilst we were all having dinner Paul and I managed to chat to a couple of drivers and codrivers<br />
which was good and I even managed to get my hands on a set of pace notes that<br />
they were given which has given me an insight into what to expect. Paul even managed to<br />
speak with Owen Turner who owns Turners Garage where Charlie has “visited” before to<br />
have work done on her. Paul and Owen had a rare ole chat about the car and Owen said<br />
he looks forward to seeing her competing again. So after all this and especially after<br />
marshalling this event it has made us even more determined to get Charlie up and running.<br />
We have now set ourselves a deadline of 27/28 Apr as we are looking at entering the Ross<br />
& Wye Rally. Fingers crossed we can pull this all off and we can let you all know in the<br />
May edition how it all went and how we faired against everyone.<br />
So, until next time, keep safe.<br />

Membership Matters<br />
Membership Renewal<br />
Looking at our records it would appear a number of you have not yet renewed your<br />
membership this year. If you didn’t receive a reminder the forms can be found on the<br />
national webpage or contact me and I’ll offer my assistance where I can.<br />
New Members<br />
The following new members have joined the South Midlands Region since the last<br />
issue of the Newsletter, next time you’re out there if you come across our new<br />
members hold out a hand of welcome and wish them happy days marshalling. In the<br />
meantime may I welcome them to the South Midlands Region and I hope they have an<br />
enjoyable year.<br />
Introduction to Marshalling (Taster Days)<br />

Danny Key<br />
Simon Williams<br />
I have now organised the Taster Days for Silverstone this year. They have been<br />
organised to run on a number of Saturdays, they finish around lunchtime, which<br />
would leave you free to marshal in the afternoon. Your role would be to assist the<br />
Leader, help keep the group together, be willing to answer questions, provide advice<br />
and generally promote marshalling. This would suit experienced marshals and<br />
trainees, as a trainee you will have recent experiences of joining the club and your<br />
first few meetings marshalling. Contact me if you are<br />
interested sm.compsec@marshals.co.uk<br />

Grading Officer Announcements<br />
Training days have been completed, signatures got and cards completed, now is the<br />
time for you to submit your cards to your regional grading officer for processing and for<br />
me to forward to the MSA, only upgrades sent from your regional grading officer will be<br />
accepted by the MSA.<br />
Remember you must have completed all of the training modules required for your<br />
upgrade, along with all of the relevant number of days marshalled.<br />
<strong>Marshals</strong> should be reminded that the grading scheme is the sole responsibility of the<br />
MSA and only they can deny (on good grounds) any upgrade.<br />
Once you have completed the upgrade criteria, then please forward your PRC's and a<br />
marshals’ registration form to me at the following address;<br />

FACEBOOK PAGE<br />
The South Mids region has set up a Facebook page, this can be found by searching for<br />
<strong>BMMC</strong> MARSHALS SOUTH MIDLANDS.<br />
If you are Facebook literate then please do log on and like our page, BUT it must be<br />
noted that "any views or opinions on the page are those of the individual posting and not<br />
those of the club"<br />
The south Mids committee will use this page to quickly send out useful info to marshals<br />
that have liked the page, however it will not replace any other forms of communication<br />
used by the committee, for example the newsletter and email distribution system.<br />
We would encourage members to use the page to tell marshalling stories (nothing<br />
derogatory or inflammatory) and general discussion, the page will be closely monitored<br />
and any offending posts will be removed, if the page is not used as intended then the<br />
committee will close the page down.<br />

<strong>BMMC</strong> Sth Mids Training Days 17, 23 and 24 Feb 2013<br />
Well, two and a half days of training sounded like a good idea last year when I took over the<br />
mantle again as Sth Mids Training Officer. Looking back after the event(s) it was a big ask,<br />
and I dread to think how many hours went into the planning and preparation so first and<br />
foremost a big thank you to my wife Helen for bearing with me through some of the<br />
frustrations.<br />
Thanks also go to the team of trainers who volunteered their time and efforts to deliver<br />
some sterling sessions which met the needs of the vast majority who came along, some on<br />
all three days.<br />
Our trainers were, David Reed, Dale Whiteman, Richard Sneader, Chris Hall, Mark Mills,<br />
John Newman, Chris Hobson, Chris Whitlock, Bryan Degerlund, Dave Brice and Elaine<br />
Brice. Sign on was gratefully supervised by Lesley Harris. Thanks too to Silverstone<br />
Circuits for allowing us the use of their facilities.<br />
Thanks too to Mike Harris, MGCC 2012 championship winner, for bringing his MGB along<br />
for the incident handling exercises – good luck this year. In the nicest way possible, we<br />
don’t want to see you!!<br />
To summarise the days, on the 17 th , we had 34 trainee, track and IOs, on the 23 (the<br />
morning of the VSCC Pomeroy Trophy, we had 36 for fire training, and on 24 th we had 25<br />
for flag, observer and off-circuit marshals. 95 in total, so a quick question, where did the<br />
remainder of the marshals in Sth Mids receive their training this year<br />
12
The vast majority of evaluation forms collected at the end of the days showed<br />
good/excellent. There were one or two lower grades and I just wish the anonymous people<br />
who weren’t happy, for whatever reason, could have spoken to me on the day and maybe I<br />
could have facilitated their request If you knew how much the teas and coffees cost us,<br />
you wouldn’t be surprised why it wasn’t on all day! Similarly some modules could have<br />
been delivered as combined observers/off-circuit such as communication and leadership.<br />
If we didn’t cover a module you specifically need for your upgrading, please let me know<br />
and if numbers justify, then maybe I can arrange an evening to put that on for you, eg self<br />
assessment for observers. Providing modular training for new people and experienced<br />
people is always difficult and that is one idea we will look at.<br />
We will maybe try a different approach next year, so if you have any constructive comments<br />
or suggestions please let me know.<br />
Thanks again to all who came along, and I look forward to seeing you around this coming<br />
season<br />

KARTING ARTICLE<br />
KART MARSHAL TRAINING DAY<br />
HELD AT SHENINGTON KART RACING CLUB<br />
ON 3 FEBRUARY 2013<br />
Yet again a very successful training day with 62 total attendances with marshals attending<br />
from Shenington, Whilton Mill, Rissington, Kimbolton and Forest Edge Kart <strong>Club</strong> including a<br />
dozen trainees and a couple of kart drivers. The results from the evaluation forms were<br />
very positive and comments included:<br />
“learning in a friendly club atmosphere”<br />
“objectives achieved”<br />
“very good hospitality”<br />
“first class, I always learn something new”<br />
“good course, interesting and friendly”<br />
“well structured”<br />
“very good hospitality”<br />
“the fire training was brilliant”<br />
A highlight of the day was the unexpected arrival of Barrie ‘Whizzo’ Williams – President of<br />
the <strong>British</strong> <strong>Motor</strong>sport <strong>Marshals</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. He gave a short speech, provided some useful<br />
insights from the viewpoint of a kart driver and stressed the importance of the role of<br />
marshals.<br />
As Lead Trainer I delivered some of the presentations, assisted by George Pearson with<br />
his fire presentation. Wendi Batteson from Forest Edge is a Trainee Trainer and to assist<br />
her assessment she delivered my flag presentation and wrote and delivered the use of<br />
radios presentation I am very grateful to these two for the invaluable help on what was a<br />
very busy day and to all the other helpers and supporters who made the day such a<br />
success, especially my son David for the excellent Powerpoint slides and my wife Gill for<br />
once again providing an endless supply of hot drinks throughout the day and all the food.<br />

Issued 01/03/2013.<br />
Ref LR2013/2.<br />
The London Rally for Heroes is starting to take shape, in the form of some super entries<br />
confirmed to date, with the promise of more to come. Chris Ingram has entered the<br />
event in his Renault Twingo, and the 2012 RSF MSA Driver of the Year is really looking<br />
forward to the event. The 18-year-old from Cheshire said: "Last year was a good year in<br />
rallying for me, both in the <strong>British</strong> Championship and in Europe, where we competed on<br />
a regular basis. I heard about the London Rally for Heroes at the BRC awards dinner<br />
and decided then, that whatever 2013 held for me, it was one event that we were<br />
definitely coming to. It's for such a super cause, and with it being run by the same team<br />
as Rallye Sunseeker, I know it will be a brilliant event; can't wait, really."<br />
On top of that, the good news for the London Rally is that Chris has put up for auction<br />
the chance to co-drive for him on eBay, with all the money raised going to the Help for<br />
Heroes Fund.<br />
Gary Le Coadou and Paul Hollingham are also coming to the event in their Toyota<br />
Corolla WRC, and will add spectacle to what will be a good event. Gary and Paul are no<br />
strangers to rallying here in the South East and are regularly seen out and about on the<br />
events which take place in the South of England. Gary said: "To be honest, as soon as<br />
we heard about the event, it was certain we would be there. We are really looking<br />
forward to the Brooklands start."<br />
Another excellent addition to the event will be a pair of Francis Tuthill Porsche 911s,<br />
driven by regulars John Lloyd and Andrew Barnes. The Jardine Lloyd Thompson pair<br />
will be sure to delight spectators on the stages. John has been rallying for many years,<br />
and this year is due to contest the likes of Rally North Wales, Severn Valley and the<br />
Neath Valley Stages, to name a few.<br />
Rally Director Rick Smith was naturally delighted with the news on the latest entries to<br />
the event and said: "It's a real coup for the event to attract the likes of John and Andrew<br />
in the Porsches. When you look at the schedule that the JLT team has for this year, for<br />
our event to be added, is such great news."<br />
Smith went on to add: "John has rallied all over the world, and as soon as the chance<br />
came up, that it was possible he could do the London Rally, he immediately said Yes."<br />
London Rally for Heroes caught up with John recently and asked him about the event;<br />
he told us: "What a super idea the event is, so close to London, using Brooklands<br />
Museum as Rally HQ, stages on the military roads and to top that all off, it's raising<br />
money for a great cause, and one we all must support."<br />
16
Entries are still coming in to the event, and plans are well advanced for some excellent<br />
entertainment at Mercedes Benz World in Surrey, designed to bring fun and enjoyment<br />
to the whole family for the duration of the rally. Equally attractive will be the central<br />
service area at Rushmoor Arena on the Saturday designed to cater for all spectators<br />
and crews alike. On top of that, money is being raised on a regular basis for the charity,<br />
with recent confirmation that over £500 has been raised via Bmy Charity.<br />
