Why does RMC use the ACU?

Why can’t RMC bring back entries on the day?
We could if we had more volunteer’s to be secretaries and guaranteed 4G to check riders licenses, unfortunately we only have one secretary and little to no 4G coverage at our venues, which makes it almost impossible to go back to day entries.
Where does the entry fee go?
At club trials almost 50% goes back to ACU for the riders insurance, the remainder goes towards the running of the club.
Why does RMC use Sport 80?
RMC uses Sport 80 because the benefit’s far out way the negatives;

Can I come and watch a trial?
Certainly.
I want to become an observer, could somebody teach me the rules and help until I am confident?
Yes, come along and speak to the event secretary.
Why does RMC use the electronic scoring devices?
The old system was outdated and was incompatible with modern computers, after many hours of study it was decided that the best option was the one provided by the ACU. This system involved the use of phones to record the scores, Observers who have used the phones only have positive comments.
