Re: Portable Points - New Proposals

Kudos & thanks to all those who have worked to make Portable Points easier to understand & put into practice.

Re: Lower Divisions (3&4) - How Could Things be Improved?

I don't really see how it is practical to check that an junior entrant for a div 4 race is both:
a) a member of a club
b) the club is the right sort of club

Re: Another possible rule change proposal for ACM - Fees
