MSA Fines
I've just read a very interesting piece in the latest MSA Newsletter about where the fines made by Clerks & Stewards go to, contry to what the Motors TV commentators would have you believe it's not the Clerks Hotel expenses.
In 2015, the over £75k raised was split: Toyota GB (charitable dinner) £500 Association of Air Ambulances £2,000 Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance Trust £2,000 London’s Air Ambulance £2,000 Midlands Air Ambulance £2,000 Scotland Charity Air Ambulance £2,000 Wales Air Ambulance £2,000 Derbyshire, Leicester & Rutland AA Trust £2,000 Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance £2,000 Thames Valley Air Ambulance £2,000 Great West Air Ambulance £2,000 Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance £2,000 Great North Air Ambulance £2,000 Devon Air Ambulance £2,000 BEN £5,000 Roadsafe £5,000 Henry Surtees Foundation £5,000 UK Youth £5,000 Torch Trophy £5,000 Motor Sport Safety Fund £10,000 FIA (Nepal Solidarity Fund) €20,000 £14,185 £75,685 |

Read this with great interest and glad the fines are being distributed to many charities and seems appropriate that a lot of the money is going to air ambulances as they are probably used for serious incidents. Just checking so no matter what circuit is being raced at or the organising club all fines are issued by the MSA?

For the past couple of years they can also pay the Steward by card as well although that does require a mobile phone signal which as you know is a bit hit or miss unless you live in a city centre.
A few years ago I was the Steward at a Nat A Kart meeting and went home with over £2000 mainly in Irish and Scottish £50 notes, the girl in my local Bank gave me some funny looks when I paid it in. |

Well, that's not a surprise !!!
It's good to hear that the monies go to deserving causes that the drivers themselves could well benefit from, including the Toyota GB dinner ...... I wonder what that was ...... |
