Hi Colin,
Before you read my post I'm not having a go at you, just raising a point
You said:
The Naul , its a grand club venue and more power to you guys for getting it up and running and to a point you are happy. To me its a bit like marmite you either love it or you don't. Same as other tracks are to other people. It is a shame that we have this issue 6 months after the agm
and its something that can't be resolved.
Well actually there is something that can be done
from the RCCAOI rule book:
1.14 The RCCAOI Committee has the power to delete, amend or change any existing rule(s) or add any new rule(s) to the Rules, to accommodate any changes on legal or fiscal requirements, or change in recognised or legally required safety procedures. This action can take place at any time within the association’s year without the need for a EGM or AGM. Any action of this nature will be made known to the membership by notification on the RCCAOI website. Any decision taken must be ratified at the following AGM with a 2/3rds majority.
This gives power to the RCCAOI to change ANY existing rule without having to hold an EGM or AGM. But the 1/10th rep + the RCCAOI committee would need to be willing to change the 2.4m width back to 2.0m making the Naul 'legal' within the RCCAOI rules.
So, will common sense prevail?
I get the impression that certain individuals are trying to make out the reason why the round is not running in the Naul is that the DMCC are unwilling to cooperate, I don't agree with this viewpoint.
I'm not on the DMCC committee but my hats off to the lads who have put in sterling effort to secure & develop a fantastic indoor track for all of us to enjoy.
The situation we are in makes absolutely no sense considering the RCCAOI have the ability to make the change if they want (see 1.14 above).
If anybody from the RCCAOI committee is reading this I plead with you to look into enacting ruling 1.14, racers from both North & South cannot see sense in this decision and neither can I.
