[SEL] Acknowledgement of e-mail Nat Rally

Most of our States and local councils require this before you can conduct an
event.  We have had a number of small events wiped off the books because the
clubs are too small to come up with the premiums.  This is not just for our
hobby.  If you wanted to have a public picnic in a park then you would need
council approval and meet their requirements.  Don't know about buskers.

When we register our cars we have what they call COMPULSORY third party
insurance for protection.  We can also get third party property and also
comprehensive insurance but these are personal choice.
