[SEL] NHMA

[Patrick M Livingstone]

I was not going to buy into this, but really! The Naracoorte Rally seems to
be trying its hardest to piss off those who are thinking of attending.
The resolution is simple. If the club is going to enforce rules different to
those in the NHMA guidelines I expect to see them in the advertising for the
rally. If they do attempt to enforce the non-NHMA rules without prior
advertising they can be found to be in breach of the trade practices act.
The least that will happen is that the club will be fined and be
de-registered.
If nothing else I want to see someone try and enforce this bit of abject
stupidity.

I tried really hard to stay out of it this time around, but what are you on
about

tell me if I am wrong but you join a club pay your fees and get your
insurance, got nothing to do with being a exhibitor,
but if you are saying that you cannot enter a compound without being an
exhibitor even if you are a club member is totally stupid something that I
have never heard of before and would defy logic, but then again a lot of
what has been said falls into that group already.
The only section of the RULES? I can find is

1.4 ACCESS TO COMPOUND.
Only insured operators of engines and machinery and insured club members are
to be allowed within the compound while engines and machinery are operating.

which is completely different to what you have stated.
Several times people on this list have made statements, some totally wrong
or at the least confusing, if people like yourself (official of the
national) cannot get it right then you must understand why the rest of us
dummies are confused.

I have no problems with the fences, put denying entry to a compound to a
guest under supervision really gets up my noise, then statements like having
to be an exhibitor would really piss me and a lot of others off.

waiting to be un-confused
