What Do The Organising Bodies Do?

[jon v8]

"The reason for a licence (or affiliation card) is to prove that you are who you say are and that you are medically fit to ride. Its not for competence on a bike (or i wouldn't have one) - when the rider who is on for example serious heart drug, has a heart attack during the event, who performed the "duty of care" in letting the guy ride."

 

Rabie, I only ride trials,so I don't know how the other disciplines sort out their respective cards - But I stand by what I say,the trials card proves nothing.If I choose to lie on the application form about all the medical questions etc, the ACU would be none the wiser. The £10 fee can hardly cover the admin and production costs of the cards. If the ACU have to have a card I don't object,but it would be good if it actually meant something I think. The AMCA seem happy to take money off riders and as far as I'm aware use the same insurance company.

We are all volunteers,I'm about to start a new classic trials club if I can do it, just for the love of the sport and to hopefully enthuse owners of old bikes to keep using them or start again. I'm very aware that even people who don't have to work often have many things pulling on their leisure time,and I want to offer them value for money. I will be contacting the AMCA in the near future.

sorry nigel  your correct about buying a truck, it was hire a motor home with awning  6sept13 ,Rabie might laugh, i agree with him but a lot of things wrote are club level not RUGBY ,  As for RMC a good piece in Richmond news "costs charitys £6000 " why ?to mark out historic sites that the national park dont know were they were. Dose the ACU  have someone on the books for land matters ? if so would that not help  clubs ?,
