5a) TREASURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS.

6) PROPOSAL that the following sentence be added to Regulation 4. "4.5 AUK shall arrange validation of rides under the above classifications and shall keep records of validated AUK Brevets" Proposer: Sheila Simpson, Seconder: Richard Phipps.
Rationale: This addition reflects, confirms and codifies established practice.

7) PROPOSAL that the final two sentences of Regulation 5.10 be changed from "At the end of an event the rider must ensure that all necessary details are entered on the brevet card and sign the card. The card will then be forwarded by the organiser to the Validation Secretary for ratification." to "At the end of an event the rider must ensure that all necessary details are entered on the brevet card and sign the card, prior to validation."
Proposer: Francis Cooke, Seconder: Gerry Goldsmith.
Rationale: With validation by organisers being extended, fewer cards will need to be mailed to the Validators, so this amendment reflects actual procedures. In addition, it will help us overcome the increasing difficulties posed by surface mail.
