PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER  and MEDIA MANAGER

The BSCRA Council announce the appointment of Lee Robson as our new Public Relations Officer.

Lee will join our Council and will be looking to expand the attendance and membership of our BSCRA clubs. An initial focus will be to contact our Club Secretaries, and to build a portfolio of methods and materials that are used to try and attract new members around the country. This can be used to establish best and most successful practices, and feed this back around the country.

We are also very pleased that Peter Donely has offered to take on the role of Media Manager. Peter’s enthusiasm for our sport, makes him ideally placed for a position with a more focused and more immediate brief. In this, he will be looking to help the Association and our clubs promote their race events, and attract a wider attendance. This will be done, mainly in conjunction with the actual clubs, by posting reminders and encouragement in Social Media.

I know you will all give both of them your continued support and encouragement, and we wish them success in their new roles.

SAFEGUARDING OFFICER

We welcome Will Stemman to the BSCRA Council, he is BSCRA’s new Safeguarding Officer.    I’m sure he will do an excellent job in this  role.


Will joins the BSCRA Council immediately.   Mark Witham has been Safeguarding Officer since 2015.   Some of the legal responsibilities of the Safeguarding Officer are subject to Motorsport UK approval, so Mark will continue with those responsibilities until Motorsport UK approval for Will to take over comes  through.     Mark of course has been  BSCRA Chairman since 2017 and once the hand over to Will is complete can concentrate solely on that role.

Paul Harwood is BSCRA’s new PRO.   Paul continues as BSCRA Area Coordinator for Area 6.  I’m sure Paul will do a great job in his new role.
