GENERAL BUSINESS

discussion on further clarifying of ambiguous rule are needed (Tables)

Johns suggested table below for member discussion only

NZMPBA Rule Simplification of General and Class Racing Rules.
1. Section 4 in the General rules should be removed and located in the Class Rules.
2. Remove the table following that section also.
3. In section 4 (General rules) look at the C1 class – it mentions that it should be for MONO only.
4. Again in section 4 (General rules) I believe it is saying that you can only run X and PX in Open Oval at a NZMPBA National Championship meet, yet the table below it indicates you can run them in Offshore!
5. Redo all tables to only one as below and possibly delete Deepvee (It’s just a simplified Offshore!)

One question, one comment.
Question, will you guys ever stop frigging with the rule book and focus on building interest and membership growth in this hobby?

Regarding Murray Smithsons remit, $25 for a "one off regatta fee", no point to it. Have you considered doing something on the lines of a 'day licence' for $10, max of two or three times then have to join. Other organisations do this! This would help local clubs to attract new people to have a go and get them hooked on the hobby. The benefit becomes more membership overall.

Nothing you guys are doing is conducive to increasing membership, you are not making it easy in any way for clubs to grow, and constant rule changes is a complete abuse of the power given to the committee. The goal of the current system was to streamline a previously long drawn out process in regards to making changes. With a total membership of 37 it is sitting at half of what it was when I was President, obviously something is not working! Time to rethink the strategy huh? Try some honest dialogue with the membership, consider their views instead of the small group thinking that currently dominates. You guys have a lot of years of experience to draw on, but throw some wisdom in there and drop the arrogance that prevails. The results are in the numbers, and they are a fail. Please listen.
