2025 AWARDS
Selwyn Thomas
Carmarthen Motor Club has nominated Selwyn Thomas for the Long Service Recognition award for the 50 plus years that he has been actively involved in Carmarthen Motor Club and in UK Motorsport.
This year Sel finally hands over the reins of Club Treasurer, a position he has held for over 25 years. The role of Club Treasurer is minor compared to his contribution to Carmarthen Motor Club and to Rallying in general. He was actively involved in organising 12 car rallies and road rallies in the 1960s and‘ 70s, and was a major player in the clubs’ Central Tyres and Autumn Rallies in the 1970s when the events were part of the prestigious Motoring News Championship. Sel didn’ t restrict his activities to road rallies, as he was a regular Stage Commander for the Lombard RAC Rally and the Fram Filters International Welsh Rally.
When Wales Rally GB was based in Cardiff Sel took on the role of car parks manager for the West Wales stages in Brechfa and Trawscoed, and he continued this role when the event moved to mid- Wales at Myherin, Hafren and Sweet Lamb.
Sel was the clubs’ radio coordinator and was known everywhere via his call sign‘ Tywi 1’. He managed the stage set-up for all the clubs’ events, and as equipment officer he made sure they were all fully resourced. Sel was instrumental in getting Hill Climbs to run in Llys Y Fran, he held the track license for the venue for many years, and when the club managed to secure Pembrey as a venue Sel arranged the supply of a few hundred tyres and other items to make the location suitable for rallying.
Sel is still an active member of the club, helping to guide the younger members, and everyone appreciates his input and the contributions he has, and continues, to make.
