Some have done this already before we've even finished the 2006 series so I guess they've made their minds up and given the club a vote of confidence to run the series again next year: Membership criteria All entrants must be fully paid up members (not associate members) of the Ducati Sporting Club, prior to 31st December 2006 and maintain that full membership for the duration of the series. Entry cut off date (basically the cut off date for registration, beyond which late entries need to be ratified by the RC): Discretion may be shown by the committee towards entrants who do not meet all of these criteria, but who are entering in the spirit of the series. This is to include those applying to join the series after the 1st of January 2007; such applications to be reviewed and ratified by the Race Committee at the earliest opportunity. Once the draft rules have been agreed they can be put up on site here for anyone who may wish to enter next year to read. In the interim feel free to request a copy of the draft rules if you haven't already received them. An email to desmodue@ducatisportingclub.com will do the trick  |
I fully understand the reasons why its best for those who know they will be competing next year to sign up as early as possible. But we are a full 6 months away from the new season starting and there seems to be some confusion as to the terms surrounding the deposit cheque situation.
Although some of these have been covered here, I think a definitive statement to all existing riders via email (the correct channel) would claify the situation for all.
