So who at MA gave the Nats to ACTMCC in the first place?

Surely they asked "OK What track is it on"  " We will just come have a look and see if it is acceptable before we grant permission"

To be fair to everyone, I think that when the approval was given to use the Kumagutsa track, it was on the reasonable understanding that there was time to bring it up to scratch.
From there, I think the expectations of the relevant parties began to seperate.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I think these events are let over 12 months in advance. If so are we to assume that no MA representative has bothered to enquire about the venue progress in just on twelve months and then giving only 5 business days for someone else to stump up. Unfuknbelievable.

With sound business practices like that I will tell the wife not to expect too much from MA if I drop dead at a meeting.

Unless you have something positive to contribute , that's what I'm suggesting. A lot of work is going on ( off this forum) to retrieve this unfortunate situationand the position should become clearer in the next few days. None of us want to see this year's Nats fall over.

I contribute plenty.

It makes me angry putting on a bike show to encourage people to the sport just so they can see our governing body fall arse over head. The bloke that let these titles has to be accountable. Full stop.

Ted,
your out of line and have no idea what your on about; who the hell do you think you are attempting to lay blame. All the governing body does is allocate the event then its up to a club to run it. The governing body approved the application that was correctly made by a member club of good standing. The Commission stood behind the club.
The club couldnt pull it together; its a bummer but they couldnt make it happen. If you had any clue what it takes, what work goes in, the crap that you have to put up with you would be a lot less ignorant.
I feel for the club.
