Thanks Lew.

Following the decision at the ACM to amalgamate the P/1 & 2/3 Vets into one class, there needs only be 1 bib officer for Vets in 2018. Mike Carter will be doing bibs for all Vets classes, and I will be standing down. I will receive bibs up until Christmas (they should have been returned by the end o...

Who is the youngest Vet and more importantly how young is the youngest Vet?

Div1/P Vets used to be from 29.

I am also against this, on similar grounds to Dave.
Should this go through I suspect I will return to the divisions, or retire from slalom after 47 years involvement.

It has been a good year for ⅔ Vets, with several new people taking the purple bib. They have gone Vet because they like the current syste...

Currentley back up and running. Hope it lasts.
