Hello, I am going to get some flack for this!
I was booked into this meeting at the start of the season and did not turn up because I felt I had a genuine reason not to go.
I informed Northy a full week before the event however the consequence was that I was not present.
Unfortunately the current rules only cover the situation whereby a person who does not turn up stops someone else booking in:
SHOULD ANY NO-SHOW ON THE DAY PREVENT OTHERS FROM ENTERING,
THE NO SHOW WILL BE LIABLE FOR THEIR ENTRY FEE re THE MISSED EVENT,
BEFORE THEY CAN BE ACCEPTED FOR ANY FOLLOWING EVENT IN THIS SERIES and/or THE BRCA OUTDOOR SERIES
Therefore, does this mean I have to pay for the missed Batley event before I can run in the Outdoor series even though I instructed the rep i would not be there?
Now before you all jump down my throats let me give some mitigating circumstances:
I did not attend because I was offered a chance to navigate in a rally car on the same date and I am sorry but real cars take precedence over toy cars.
I also raced at the Teesside regional which I was not booked in for and just turned up on the day, so where one meeting lost another one gained.
I can only give an example of my situation last weekend but it illustrates that life is not black and white it is grey and situations must be investigated before concluions are made.
