We have Davie the driver.nuff said

think if you check your race programme you will find that the members voted for 3 comeback races that were not to be in the fed averages, they did not vote for training tosses, if clubs or members decided that they were not participating in a race then as always it was at their own discretion, as fed officials it is our duty to follow the members wishes as voted at the AGM.
