I was talking to Gary (Hinds) at the Inter Island Games in the Shetlands this year and we got round to talking about the costs for putting races on the Island ,well now that the Competition Review is finally here with us and the fees dramatically reduced ,it would appear for a race held on the Island categorised as a Reg C which carries no points,no Permit Fee payable,no Division Levy Payable, No Race Levy payable,only an Ins Levy @ £1.50 per entrant and the Organisers Event Ins Fee of £5.00.I hope this info is of help to you all. (I could not get in touch with Gary so maybe one of you will tell him). Dot, I assume that you will still be doing the NSC under the ''Club riders only'' scheme as per last year if so the cost would be reduced to only £5.00 per week for the Event Insurance and no further fees payable.
