YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOUR HELP
The majority of QRS committee members are being stretched to the maximum at race meetings.
We are either riders or have riders out there.
Whilst we appreciate that most riders who come to meetings are in the same boat, we are appealing for a little more help.
A simple task on a race day taken care of frees us up to either deal with our main duties or watch our children/family member’s race.
Little things like selling the programmes in the morning allows the sign on crew to concentrate on getting the sign on job done quicker and keeping the queues down.
Chief marshal is not as full on as it sounds either, the list is drawn up before, all that is required is the allocation of marshal points, Marshal signed on official sign on sheet, vest and flags handed out to the marshal, a marshal brief and that’s it until lunch time, a quick check to make sure marshals are back to their post after lunch and that’s it until end of the day, collect the flags and vests in. Job done. Again this frees up the clerk of course and the club secretary.
Timing Equipment: Assistance with the timing equipment on race days is required. Surely there are a few technically minded individuals out there who would like to see how it all works and rise to the challenge. Kenny will provide training to any individuals interested in helping out. Even if it’s just for part of the day this would be appreciated. The Club have invested a lot of money in this equipment it would be a shame if we had to revert back to lap scoring.
Any job not matter how small, if you try it once does not mean you need to do it at all rounds, but with more people coming forward and lending a hand the more efficient we as a club will become. (And the less stressed the committee members will get).

Getting ready for the weekend
Postcode reminder for the track AB54 4HH. We will do our best to put some signs out especially for those who are going to Rhynie for the first time, as it can be quite easy to drive by the gate to get into the track, which is located on the other side of the hill.
On the weekend, again there are still people who have not volunteered their round to marshal at as we are now short on the Sunday.
Marshal List.
Saturday

Graham Clark
AJ Third
Ian Tait
Lawrence Whyte
Andrew Third
Paul Skinner
Connor Smith
Mark Wilson
Sunday

As you can see from the above we are still short of a possible 10 marshals are required each day, those who have not put down their preferred round will be asked to make up the shortfall. You have been warned

QUAD RACING SCOTLAND CLUB NEWS
Just a little note to all, with a few important pieces of information, before our AGM on Sunday 7th March at Bothwell Bridge Hotel.
The club will be introducing a new marshalling schedule this year (let’s hope with rider support this will work)
At the first round @ Duns we will be displaying the marshal requirements for every QRS round. Riders will choose their preferred round to marshal at. This will apply to all riders i.e. all riding family members. If you do not fill in your preferred round then the club will allocate a venue for you. If all members take their turn this should speed up race days and allow committee members to go about their race day duties. We will be enforcing the no Marshal no race policy this year. Any rider just turning up for the odd race will be required to supply a marshal. The sheets will be produced at a set time and it will be on a first come first served basis.
It was decided by the current committee to present the marshal sheets at the agm this weekend to allow those attending the agm and supporting their club first choice.
Debbie Stuart has decided to step down this year from role as treasurer and Yvonne Boyd wishes to assume this role at voting this weekend. For ease of banking duties we will be adjusting the entry forms to reflect Yvonne’s address. This will be updated on the website in due course. All entry forms will now go to Yvonne’s address and not the main club administration address.
On the subject of entry forms, due to the rise in running costs we will this year be increasing the youth entry fee to £25.00.
Hope to see you all at the AGM.
Regards
QRS Team
FEBRUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER
A Very Happy New Year from everybody at QRS – we hope you had a wonderful Festive period and are looking forward to seeing you all very soon.
QRS AGM – Sunday 7th March 2010 2pm
Many of you over the last year have shared your ideas with us about how you feel we could improve the Club and for that we are very grateful but there are still a small minority of us who carry out the huge amount of work it takes to run QRS and provide racing for you in Scotland. As such we desperately need your help in 2010 to ensure QRS grows and strengthens. Don’t be afraid to come forward and volunteer your services – we will provide you with all the training needed to help you help us.
Please find attached details of all Committee positions which need to be filled this year – we really hope you can make it to the AGM which is being held at The Bothwell Bridge Hotel, Bothwell, G71 8EU at 2pm.
Please download a form if you are interested in standing for any of the positions listed, return to the usual address ASAP or simply send an e mail.
We hope you will show support for your Club at the AGM and volunteer to help in whatever small or large way you can – QRS can only have a future if we have more people involved willing to work towards an even more successful 2010!!
EVENT CHANGES
Due to a lack of track availability in April we have now changed round one to Duns and Round 2 will be held at Cardenden.
DATE CHANGE
We at QRS want to encourage and help grow our sport nationally as well as locally. We are therefore supporting the British Championship again this year. QRS will be hosting round 2 of the British Youth Championship along with round 5 of the Adult British Championship on the 15th August 2010. This date was originally to be the QRS/SACU round, THIS WILL NOW BE HELD ON THE SATURDAY 14th AUGUST. You will of course be more than welcome to stay on and enjoy the British round on the Sunday, if you could lend a hand on the day even better you might even get your face on TV as the day will be televised for Sky Extreme Sports. We would also like to encourage all our Youth riders to enter for the Youth Championship and we will advise how to enter once all details are to hand from the ACU.
2010 Club Championship
There has been a few exciting changes to this year’s Club Championship.
Firstly we have secured a sponsor who has pledged a generous prize fund to the Championship Class. The QRS Adult Club Champion will receive £1,500 prize money, 2nd place £1,000 and the 3rd place rider will pocket £500. There will also be hole shot money during the season in the Adult Support Class.
Riders must join the club and be present at the end of season presentation dance to receive there cheque. Hole shot money will be presented on the day.
2010 MEMBERSHIP
Time is running for all those who have not returned their memberships, the start of the Race season is just around the corner. Please remember to advise us if you require a race license form and enclose a Stamped address envelope. The SACU have advised that no One Event License forms will be available this year so remember No License, NO RACE. We are in the process of printing a Club handbook for our members, which should help with any question you may have about the forthcoming race season.
However in the meantime please keep checking the website for any updates www.quadracingscotland.org.uk or contact us on 01698 374374 or 07766774848.

ROUND ONE
Round one of the SACU/QRS Championship kicked off at Cardenden on the 29th March 2009. No snow this time just glorious sunshine and a very cold wind. The day was a great success and made all the more special with the appearance of John Mitchel, Leon Beda and Irish riders Ricky Toye and Dean Thompson making the trip over, to join in blowing off the winter cobwebs. Full race reports were published in the May edition of Quad Magazine.
BRITISH YOUTH ROUND ONE 19 APRIL DUNS
Quad Racing Scotland this year have also hosted round one of the British youth and Round 2 of the Adult MMX Championship. Again we were blessed with sunshine and entertained with a greats days racing. Quad Racing Scotland would like to thank all those who volunteered there services on the day. Thanks guys and girls your help was much appreciated. ROUND TWO
RHYNIE RUNS AT LAST
Round 2 of the SACU/QRS championship took place at a sunny and rather dusty Rhynie track, two words we haven't had the pleasure of using to describe our days racing there for some time. However so as not to spoil our reputation, the rain did put in a brief appearance, if only it had timed it before we sent the bowser out. The days racing did take a little bit longer than normal to get under way due to the lack of Marshal Cover, which brings us nicely onto to our next important update.
MARSHAL COVER
To date QRS have been reliant on volunteers to cover our rounds and even with our money reward, volunteers have been thin on the ground. A request for outside assistance has gone to the Army Cadets and they are looking into cover for the Duns and Leuchers meetings for us. We have also contacted the Inverness Air Cadets to see if they are available to help out at Ardersier. However it should be stressed that we cannot rely on this alone and therefore QRS will be reverting back to all late entrants will have to supply a marshal. We know this is not our favourite subject, but guys and girls it is hard enough trying to organise and run a race event without the added headache of running around on the day looking for marshals. Marshalling at your race events is not a new thing it is an important part of your racing.
ROUNDS 3 & 4
23rd and 24th May.Venue Ardersier ( http://www.highlandmotox.com/ ) Highland Moto X Club
Please have your entries in for Ardersier by the closing date of Monday 18th May. Most of us will be heading up late Thursday. Round 3 is being sponsored by Mr Rice Chinese restaurant in Inverness and Mr Kam Cheng has also offered a free delivery service back to the track on Saturday night for all orders. There will be menus available at sign on Saturday morning and it would be much appreciated if you could have your orders back to us by presentation.
QUAD MAGAZINE
Quad is eager to grow the Youth scene and so far this year Zoe Neill has submitted two youth reports. So come on all you budding reporters lets have your take on what's happening at your club. If you would like to put in a report we are always happy to help you piece it together and submit it on your behalf. Forward your reports to admin@quadracingscotland.org.uk
PHOTOGRAPHERS
