The principle of the scheme is that every time a Club Member marshals on an event in which Bristol Motor Club is involved as organisers, they will be entitled to a Voucher with a value of 1 unit. As a result, members can obtain something tangible in return for their support of the event. Vouchers are issued according to the marshals' signing-on forms, and are either distributed at events or posted subsequently. I maintain a Register of vouchers issued and redeemed. The aim of this scheme is to encourage members to marshal on our events, and to help them to become better equipped, warmer and drier. In conjunction with this initiative, the Club will also be giving more encouragement and assistance to members wishing to attend relevant training days.
In the first season of operation, 2001, over one hundred vouchers were issued, and in 2002 in excess of 120 were earned. So the scheme seems to have been a success from an organiser's point of view.
Below is list of items for which these Vouchers can be redeemed. In addition, we have commissioned a range of Club leisurewear which can also be purchased or part-purchased with vouchers.
