British Motorsports Marshals Club sign Armed Forces Covenant
The British Motorsports Marshals Club (BMMC) is proud to announce its commitment to supporting the Armed Forces community through the signing of the Armed Forces Covenant. This momentous event took place on November 10, 2024, at Anglesey Circuit before the start of the 10th Mission Motorsport Race of Remembrance.
The signing was conducted by Group Captain G J J Currie OBE ADC MA RAF on behalf of the Armed Forces, and BMMC National Secretary John Edwards representing the British Motorsports Marshals Club. By signing the Covenant, the BMMC joins Mission Automotive and other organizations in recognizing the unique challenges faced by those who serve or have served in the military and ensuring they and their families are treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy, and society they serve.
The Armed Forces Covenant is a pledge made across the United Kingdom, acknowledging the contributions and sacrifices of the Armed Forces community. It affirms that military personnel, whether Regular or Reserve, past or present, and their families should not face disadvantage in accessing public or commercial services. In addition, special consideration is extended to those who have been injured or bereaved through their service.
John Edwards, BMMC National Secretary, commented, “We are honoured to support our service personnel by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. Our members hold deep respect for the dedication and sacrifices of the Armed Forces, and we are committed to upholding the values of fairness and respect toward those who have served our nation.”
The Mission Motorsport Race of Remembrance, held annually at Trac Môn, Anglesey, provides a fitting setting for this commitment, honouring the service and sacrifice of military personnel. The BMMC looks forward to establishing this formal pledge, further strengthening its ties with those who have dedicated their lives to serving the United Kingdom.
