    Courier

  20. the race points are obviously important but also how many club members around you dont fly in the nationals and what are the reasons the national needs to take a long hard look at the running of the club in recent years it has left a lot to be desired in my opinion from transportation to race controling and biggest of all security i dont think we have ever got over events from a few years back that have to date never been explained there is not a bigger national minded flyer than me and this is only my opinion
