Thank you for the comments of your thread opener. It is indeed the HRSR committee's desire that all members vote on this issue. Hopefully all comments will be as constructive as yours, whether for or against.

The reason for restricting the vote to 2007 members is twofold :

1. We only have around 35 registered members so far for 2008 against 65 members in 2007.

2. The issue was a proposal at the 2007 AGM held in early December. However, it has been a hot topic for several years and the discussion at the AGM was 'spirited' with several alternatives raised from the floor as well as some members wanting no change from the status quo and some wanting all oversize engines to be banned. It was agreed that it would be left to the committee to filter the suggestions made and to put a proposal to the members that best fitted both the original proposal and the suggestions from the floor. Bear in mind that no proposal was requested for the AGM agenda that banned all oversize engines. Given that we were to make a proposal stemming from the AGM it was then fair that only those entitled to be at the AGM should be given a vote on the issue - hence the restriction to the 2007 membership.
