- Booking of events:
Proposer & Seconder: Wessex CX Committee.
Not allowing organisers to book their following season promotion until either the current league has run all of it’s races, and only after the committee have advised available dates to ensure there is no damaging or not permitted clashes.
This would give organisers and equal and fair opportunity to make books for a date in the season that best suits their organisation group and circumstances. It would go some way towards reducing the burden that is currently sat with League Event Organiser. It would also give new new/potential organisers the chance to promote more fairly rather than them just having to flex around the existing. This may mean that not all promoters have a slot each year but new organisers/venues might and from a riders point of view this might not be a bad thing. Events to be submitted to the League Event Organiser via a Tender Form.
- Making a Difference Trophy:
Proposer & Seconder: Wessex CX Committee.
Awarded to a League Organiser, Official or Rider who has made a significant contribution to Wessex Cyclo Cross in the previous Season/Seasons. This is to be decided by the previous 3 winners (who are still active in The League) and should not be awarded to the same person twice for the same role.
- Open V50/60 races:
Proposed by: Richie Bremner. Seconded by: Tracy Bremner
“I would like to propose that the v60 start 1 minute behind v50 to bring us in line with Trophy and championship events, and also improve safety for slower v60 riders who often get involved in skirmishes with the first 20-25 v50 riders as they pass, often with little or no warning shouting and in sections of course where over taking is difficult. Generally the split has been a success, just needs a tweak.”
- There is a price cap on all U12 races, the maximum to be decided by Wessex committee
Proposed by: Christina Gustafson, Reading CC
Seconded: David Ridge, Reading CC - There is a price cap on all U16 races, the maximum to be decided by Wessex committee
