And how do you suggest clubs survive C8, why would folk pay club fees during a layoff ?

Bit fed up of folk saying thinks like rolled over, accepted without a fight, meek, faint hearted, yous keep talking about fight it ?

Show me what you've got to get behind, other than sound bites and rhetoric, what's your plan ?

Yes it's a rip off, yes it's not fit for purpose and I'm a ticked off as everyone.

I care about our clubs future, I'm sick of the doom and gloom, I want to read the final update from the BMFA, then get on with it.

For the record again I believe the BMFA did their best and very much doubt anyone else would've done better.

Not a "pre- flounce" at all, it's a full flounce, my gruntles dissed.

You know zilch about what our clubs done, nor most.

As to your "Rant" about the BMFA, get yourself an event run, put years into a site, maintain it, secure membership, then you can decide the way you go, for the record our club require no A for it's events, but we do respect other clubs right to decide their policy. Given your vast experience and many many hours of training, go take your A, you'll find many Clubs/Examiners who'll go out their way to assist you, even at their own expense, or don't, choice is yours.

You decided through what research that clubs/members are not being informed what's coming ? spoke to a few strangers, read a few posts and you've concluded we're all uniformed and not spreading the word ? Meh. You sound like the very people you reckon to be complaining about, Uniformed. You know nothing about what steps most clubs have taken, nor the work they have put in and will continue to do. 99% of all events ? wrong again, uniformed assumption.

Leaves a bad taste I've been deducted 10pts, fair enough if you hadn't made predictions, otherwise, meh.

So I predicted it correctly and gained nothing, magic.

Le Clerc for his first win then ? lads due a bit of luck ?

I'm guessing we all got a prediction correct.

If it's "The principle not the money" can someone explain the block registering to me ? block registering seems fraught with consequences to me, why should I bare any responsibility for others flying, you got a legal position to guarantee I wouldn't be at risk ?

Must be reading a different forum to me then, maybe the numbers will match those marching on Downing street, demanding freedom from tyranny. We shall never surrender and I blame the BMFA.

170,000.

All done, took Shergar to beat Red Rum.

Whether the A test existed or not, clubs that have been around a while, would have developed a method, the test being there just gave them a well known tool to use, and a good and proven one at that, it's voluntary as is visiting a club, not barriers, choices.

We are in South Yorkshire, numerous people have contacted us to take them for tests, no ones ever been refused, I would imagine most clubs are the same.

Yep used em when I was a nipper, put a 10x6 on see it's any happier ?

Not sure why achievement scheme is being discussed, no clubs ever put barriers in my way, some have rules you need to abide by, the choice is yours, ours you need to demonstrate you're safe to be let loose, pretty similar to the A test, barrier ? nope just sensible precaution to protect the site and its membership, not much to ask after the years of work people have put into their clubs, your barriers learning to fly, have fun.

To all who help to stage and make the event happen, Deep Respect and Thank You All. and to all who participate or just attend and watch, may you never grow old.

Put a photo of installation on, could be anything, might be ignition unit too close and causing interference.

Clear as mud so far, I would expect those flying at the NFC to have to register and show proof, where clubs stand I've no idea, wouldn't like something to happen at ours involving an unregistered flyer, who'll cop the flak ? AGM looks like being fun.
