Championship Awards Lunch and Championship Regulations 2017 Consultation

[Comp Sec]

As you know we are returning to the refurbished British Motor Museum at Gaydon for the  awards lunch on Sunday 16^th October 2016, and we are now taking bookings.

So log into you web account and book your place online , http://www.lotus7.club/speed-championship-awards-lunch

We will be having a similar structure to last year with any issues which needs decisions from the competitors being voted upon, hopefully there’s no major surprises in the pipeline for next season, but we will have to see what surprises the MSA puts out as the season goes on.

Remember this is your chance to influence the regulations for your championship, and I’ve already had a couple of  ideas sent through.

Prior to the awards dinner on 16th October, common themes & proposal will be developed from these by the regulations team, and a briefing paper will be circulated and championship competitors will have opportunity to vote on any proposals at the awards.

Whilst your ideas can be submitted at any point over the season by email to me using the  Compsec@lotus7.club email address using the following format.

• Title
• Description
• Any Technical Detail

• Upside of Proposal
• Downside of Proposal
• Cost Impact to competitors

• Implementation
• Possible Objections

Please remember we don’t have all the answers, and I’m sure there will be some duplicates, but we will try and collate the received ideas into achievable options for 2017 regulations.

I’m still looking for a willing volunteer to put together a video montage for the awards, if your game for it please let me know.

If you have any questions or queries please feel free to contact me.

Hi Chris,

        Many thanks for an excellent  awards lunch, and for your hard work as an excellent Comp Sec over 2016.

In regards to Sprinters spares box , it is looking rather  depleted and requires up dating ,do we just ask for used parts donations or are there any funds available to purchase replacement/more relevant parts? 

I am happy to take this task on, but if you can give me some guidance of how it has worked in the past,

or your thoughts for the future?

I also owe for bottle of wine from the lunch, how can i pay?

Regards

Philip

Hi Phil,

I think a general request for either a spares parts donation or replacement from those who have used the service this year...... is appropriate.

If we can then review what is in a what has been used we can look at any shortfalls which might be of benefit.

As to the wine i'll be dropping an email out.

Phil,

I owe a set of spark plugs for the spares box, which I sort for the start of the new season.
