Monaghan volunteers and marshals were honoured for their dedication to motorsport

.
At an appreciation night for volunteers in motorsport, started by Caroline McGuinness a number of years ago, motor clubs from across Ulster nominated people they felt were deserving of recognition for their contributions to help events run.
The Trevor Purdy Lifetime Achievement award is for marshals who have dedicated their life to assisting at motorsporting events. Stephen Meehan was nominated by Monaghan Motor Club for his commitment over the years. The award was won by Caroline McGuinness.
The Manus Kelly Memorial Cup was introduced to recognise competitors who give back and volunteer at events, as a way to encourage competitors to don a bib on weekends when they are not in a car. Nominated by Monaghan Motor Club, Andy Mackarel was the winner of the cup.
The Spirit of Marshalling award was present to Victor Mehaffy.
Marshals were also recognised at the Motorsport Ireland awards gala in Dublin. Caroline was also on hand to receive the president’s award on behalf of all volunteers north and south who help at Motorsport Ireland events.
