The VSCC is a very friendly club. They run circuit meetings, hillclimbs, sprints, rallies and trials so there is usually something for everyone. About 2 years ago they set up the marshals' guild, a part of the VSCC intended to represent marshals' interests to the VSCC commitee and any other body that needs a push in the right direction, members of the marshals guild do not need to be VSCC members only to have marshalled at a VSCC event, whatever form that took.

The VSCC race 'vintage' cars (pre-1931) and post vintage thoroughbreds (good quality cars pre-1941). The club have started running a wide range of invitation races, such as the class c cars seen at donnington 2002.

The club always pays at least £6 day, in march there is a formal dinner for marshals who have done over a certain number of events the previous season (5 events i think). At the dinner 3 marshalling awards are presented, including an award for young marshals.

The club has always run a training session at it's 'Pomeroy' meeting (at Silverstone) but recently they have organised a seperate training day. There has been suggestions of a training day mid-season although the logistics of this will have to be worked out.

The club has a paid competition secretary as well as an 'events organiser'. Due to their work load on the day of a meeting, if you have a query about future meetings its best to ring the club office, however, if it is a marshalling query you can contact the Chief Marshal, Ray Edge.

You can contact the club office on the above address, the telephone number is 016086444777, you can e-mail info@vscc.co.uk

Neville Weeks would like to say "a big thankyou" to all the helpfull friends he met at last weekend's VSCC Loton Park Hill Climb. It was a most enjoyable meeting and as marshaling at post 2 on this hill give's some privileged viewing, I shall do my very best to attend again.

is there anyone able to supply me with a serviceable flameproof suit as I would be keen on marshaling unscathed for as long as possible, (I can't afford to get any uglier,) and a good low price would avoid embarrassment ( mine, of course ).
