Another reminder that the club's grading policy takes effect from the upcoming Spring Series. Anyone wishing to drop down from their current grade must apply in writing to the club captain (hegreen@xtra.co.nz) by 21 August. The policy will be available online soon but the main points are:
* Riders must remain in the grade they are in at the start of a series for the whole series. Except in exceptional circumstances, riding out of grade is not allowed.
* In case of injury or serious illness during a series, riders may apply to the club captain to ride down and if permission is given the member will be informed of any conditions.
* If a member wishes to be graded down they must apply to the club captain two weeks before the start of a new series.
* If a member rides in a lower grade without permission they will be automatically disqualified.
