Committee Profile – Iain Morris

Iain writes…

I have been around FDMC all my life as a result of my dad being a very active member of the Club, from the 1970s up until he sadly passed away in 2022.  I joined the Committee because I wanted to give something back into the club that has given the Morris family so much enjoyment over the years.

My motorsport background is primarily tarmac rallying related. Drove my first rally on my 19th birthday and never looked back. Have had various success up to national level. I still have the car that I started using for rallies in 1991, although of a much better specification these days.

As well as competing, I have travelled the world a lot watching motorsport events. Mainly rounds of the world rally championship. I’ve been to over 50 rounds of the championship, visiting such countries as Argentina, Australia, New Zealand, Jordan on top of most of the European based events.

I have also been lucky enough to have been to watch the Indy 500, Daytona 500, Monaco GP and Bathurst. Still plenty of events to go to though including Le Mans.

One thing to note I have no interest in working on cars!!!!

My next target is to work on the social side of the Club as I believe the next generation of volunteers and Committee members will arise from a more active social element of the club.  I believe FDMC is a great club, what makes it great is the members.

As a Committee member I’m always willing to listen to our members, to see how we can make our Club even better.
