Hi
Amazing isn't it - that nobody ever bothers to actually:-
a) Read the rules
b) Stop and actually think that somebody might be trying to help you..
You will find in your rule book that it's been a rule for donkey's years that anybody 'under the influence' will be expelled from the meeting
That is an obvious (and anybody who thinks differently should take up another hobby) health and safety basic requirement.
But
When an official turns round to you at booking in on a Sunday morning and says 'You're worse for wear - go home'.
(Which is a increasing problem in several sections unfortunatly, so we'll all be under the spotlight until it improves..)
And all you've been doing is munching a giant size pack of wine gums all the way there
how do you PROVE otherwsie?
Correct, we've now got a fix..
You use one of the disposable breath testers each and every section have been told to go and get.
Takes all the argument out of it - for everybody concerned.
We Will Protect Our Officials.
As Unfortunatly there is a very vocal minority that think the officials are just verbal punchbags, and some who think race meetings are places to get drunk - and while that continues we'll all have to put up with some inconviences I'm afraid.
The long term fix for this is in YOUR hands..
