JJT Wattisham Targa - Organisers Thank You

As Clerk of the Course may I extend a big thank to all the people that helped to organise and deliver a very successful event at Wattisham yesterday 

Firstly to Tony Michael for doing the regulations, secretarial work, diagrams, entries , and with the help of Kelly unbelievably slick results.

Next to Richard & Sue Bonner as Chief Marshals - who have already sent a lovely thank you to all the marshals.  My extra thanks go to the Test Commanders Dave Thompson & Amy, John Davie & Chris and Adrian Wardman & Dick on the mega South HAS test. 

Alistair Brown Assistant C of C, with change rounds, course opening & paddock organisation

To Dave Judd the Safety Manual & Radio Control .

Ryan Sales the Event Safety Officer, writing our RA & assisting changerounds & course opening.

Paul Barrett for doing the roadbook & marshals printing, MTC's , course closing &  processing marshal check sheets for penalties - a surprising number of cone hits,  but for me , a satisfyingly low number of Wrong Tests. 

Brian Hemmings the Venue Contract arrangement for AMSC,  MSUK Insurance & Event Safety Officer

Gary Maddocks & Geoff Lobb Equipment Collation & Delivery and set up & clear up.

Paul Brewerton the Event Steward. Ben & Karen Scott Recovery, John Horton Paramedic, Simon Dockray & Team scrutineering, Dave Barnes & Tony Campen noise 

The otherwise not yet acknowledged Chris Slack that was part of the Saturday set up team with Geoff, Gary , Dave , Camps, Richard, Ade,  Ali & myself.  We need some younger helpers - the average age of our set up team was almost 69!

Finally my thanks to Martin Kinsey the Wattisham Flying Station Staff & Executive Officer and Major Mark Saunders of  British Army Motorsport for helping Martin clear most of the vehicles from our test routes and tolerating our spreading of oil in a few places.
