Although no longer a licence holder (though I was for almost 50 years) it seems to me that MSUK have played a bit of a sleight of hand here. The need for a medical has been removed (up to the age of 60) thereby saving competitors around £100 or more per year which went to the medical profession, not MSUK. They then increase licence fees by a hefty whack which does go to them.
We all know that the sport must be made cheaper for youngsters/newbies but I must question some of the spending by MSUK on liaison persons for this, that and the other, etc.
