Sorry about sounding like John Noakes with the title,
but following yesterdays anouncement by way of a email sent to those registered for this years DD.

Andy should be congratulated on his Sponsorship of a Newcomers/Novice Cup championship.

The entry requirements look a bit rough around the edges (as I have spotted a few loop holes)but nothing that can't be sorted before the season starts in 7 weeks time, I have emailed my comments to the RC at desmodue@ducatisportingclub.com

Andy if you want a copy of the emailed comments PM me your email address and I'll fire it over.

I'm sure the reason the entry requirements are so stringent is to avoid people hanging on to their novice bids way longer than they should (knowingly or not), thus taking the prizes away from the true novices who haven't completed 10 meetings. This had become a bit of an issue last year with the champagne bottles, Andy just wants to make sure the true novices are awarded.

In order to qualify for Bemsee's Rooky 400s you musn't have done any races. If you've done a few meetings but still have a novice bib you're not elegible anymore, and it's the same thing here. Andy's the sponsor so it's his call!

And speaking of prizes, where are our REAL championship trophies?! It says in the regulations that the DSC would be giving out championship trophies at the end of the season, but it's almost the start of the next season and all seems to have been brushed under the carpet. The DSC should have absolutely ensured that we got them by now, one way or another.

typical woman...its all bling bling bling

as there hasnt been an off-season get together, maybe they'll do a presentation at the first round???

Nice one Andy.

[Dominic Clegg]

Not been fully involved in this one but I think its will be at the first round that we have the championship trophies but I will look into it.

I been working with Andy on this one and had a few emails back and looks like there could be a little movement in the rules. A few people look to be genuine novices i.e. had a licence in 2008 with intention of racing but did not raced and have no previous previous race history so I think in that case things will be okay. But I will double check with Andy to make sure.

p.s. Kev could you pass that email on to me as well, thank you

PM'd over the contents of the email regarding the Novice Cup, as i don't have your email address here at work.

one bit of it points out that if you were previously a Sidecar passenger, a Moto X rider, Hill Climber etc and have therefore held an ACU race Licence your not eligable.
