Just to add a bit of background information about rule proposals.

Any BRCA member can submit a rule proposal. The proposals are then reviewed by the section committee, who cannot do any more than comment on them and provide a recommendation.

Some of the rule proposals have come from the committee members, and some have come from members. As the regional rep for Wales, i attended the last section meeting where these proposals were submitted. And i can assure you, that the committee share your concerns for some of the proposals. Its a little harsh to Criticise the BRCA or section committee when the rules you are no doubt objecting to have not come from them.

During the AGM, all rule proposals will be presented, the section committee’s comments will be added, and a vote takes place. It does not matter how sane or logical the rule is, if the majority vote for it, it stands.

But at the moment, the way to make sure your voice is heard, is to turn up to the AGM, which is being held this Sunday and vote.
