All clubs are able to put in motions to the ACM - not just for changes but if they feel something in the rules needs clarity or rewriting so easier to understand. as often happens those on the committee who have been in the sport for many years can easily take thing as read and do not necessarily s...

As stated in the info - this is ONLY for the legacy loop - if you want olympic you have to book in for that assessment another time. It has really been difficult pinning the centre staff down as LOCOG has taken over lock stock and ballel for 2 weeks so if they decide you need to demonstrate a roll ...
