From Spectator to Service
The Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club( SMMC) has recognised Andrew Main, who has stepped down as a Trustee after over fifty years of dedicated service to motorsport and to the Club.
Main’ s involvement with motorsport began in the early 1970s, when he and school friends watched events at Ingliston, and it inspired him to become a marshal. In 1973, he was present at the founding of the Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club, when it was actively seeking new members, and he joined the Club’ s Motorsport Rescue Team in 1977. By the time he retired his Rescue licence after the Roger Albert Clark Rally in 2014, he had amassed an extraordinary 913 event attendances. Main also undertook the maintaining the Club’ s Rescue fleet, organising repairs, servicing and vehicle insurance.
Main joined the Board in 1991 as a director of Scottish Motorsport Marshals Club Limited, contributing to governance as well as practical operations. When the Club became a charity in 2021, he continued in the role as Trustee. His long service was recognised with Honorary Membership of SMMC in 2023 and a Motorsport UK Long Service Recognition certificate in 2024, marking over four decades of commitment to the sport.
Although he has stepped down as Trustee, Main remains a valued member of the Club. His record of service, governance and behind-the-scenes support has helped shape the Club for generations to come, and SMMC, along with the wider motorsport community, owes him a sincere debt of gratitude.
