BRCA Mid South Rep position..?

[Dr_UpGrade]

I'm not sure this is common knowledge yet but I've hearing that Keith Wardle is retiring from being the rep for mid south BRCA. I've had a look thru' the BRCA handbook and I know positions like the BRCA Sec, Chairperson and Treasurer (etc) are voted in at the BRCA agm, but I can't see anything related to how regional reps are chosen? I know Keith is quite connected with Stotfold but I wonder, purely from a 'drivers' perspective, if the mid south rep was someone not connected with any of the specific clubs in the region so we can always maintain the 'best' for the region and not let interclub politics get in the way? Or at least reside over any interclub disputes in an impartial manner without any conflict of interest? Maybe I'm being a bit simple, but if you look at the recent 'turmoil' at the last 2wd round, maybe if we had a 'driver based' rep that some of these 'misunderstandings' could have been minimised, who knows? But at least maybe have helped take some of the pressures/strains off the race directors..?


This is not in any way a 'dig' at Keith, I've never met him and I have heard that he does/ has done a great job, looking at the mid south area since I restarted club racing a few years ago now. I am just posting an open question on the forum, because I don't know the answer myself.

Is there a method to put somebody forward for the role? Do the drivers get a vote etc?

Cheers,

Mark
