I didn’t think the appointment of a new Motor Sports Development Officer for Scotland would have aroused quite so much interest and curiosity, but it would appear that it has, going by the questions and emails received since the appointment was publicised here.
According to Tom Purves, SMS Chairman: “This
is an exciting time to be involved with motor sport in Scotland. Initially we wanted to demonstrate the
significance of the sport to our country and I am delighted that as a result
sportscotland has subsequently supported our funding application. The role of
the Development Officer is now a critical one; he or she will be required to
work with us in establishing what the sport needs in Scotland and how best that
can be achieved. If we get this right, it will have a significant impact on our
sport and all its participants.”
Louise Martin CBE, Chair of sportscotland,
also commented: “We are delighted to have supported Scottish Motor Sports with
an investment of £40,000 to create a development officer role. Scotland has a
proud motor sport history, and this position will help the next generation of
champions to flourish, as well as providing a solid base from which to progress
the sport to another level.”
So, in the
interests of open-ness and transparency I have printed out the ‘job
description’ of the new
