RMS Upgrade

Members may have noticed that they are not able to currently access the Rider Management System. The upgrade is continuing. The developer, Steven, was successfully able to retrieve much of the old data in a variety of formats. He's now working on some additions so that we'll be better able to manage marshals, race directors and authorised traffic controllers, as well as provide as much post race information as possible. Stay tuned for the news on the rollout.

Thanks to Allan Bontjer also for his coordinating and provision of technical support.
