Novice Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Latest information suggests that we will be at Carnwath this Saturday but that there has been an objection to the changes raised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gareth Rankin Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thought a total change in race points and direction would need to come via a special meeting were all members could attend. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeypap Posted July 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thought a total change in race points and direction would need to come via a special meeting were all members could attend. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ I thought that was why each club had two delegates to attend meetings at short notice to represent and vote on behalf of the club members, after they had spoken to them of course and got an idea for what they would want.

Novice Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thought a total change in race points and direction would need to come via a special meeting were all members could attend. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ I don't know the nature of the objection yet but I think the federation was faced with a situation that sticking with the agreed prog. would have led to reduced birdage. I think you may be correct about the foundation of the objection but will look for clarification. However---I think the management committee took the correct action reviewing the situation.

Of course they were correct to review the situation. As was said earlier not going to please everybody with the new route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greig the doo Drysdale Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 where is the lib point for the livingston race. It was at SKY TV in Kirkton Campus ind est Went down a couple of time to watch but its not the best Lib point a few miles along the road at Livingston football club would be better or ontop of the multi story car park at the shops but thats alot of carrying baskets as the transporter wont fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
