Chairman Statement

[wrighty496]

Members of UK Dirt,

With MC having stepped down as UK-Dirt chairman last November 22nd, there has been quite some debate within the admin team as to what steps would be best to take, in order to fill the roles formerly carried out by himself. The conclusion we have come to for the best way forward is to spread the load out more, rather than just one central chair figure having all the responsibility. As a result we have two people stepping into roles which they are best suited - these two being Kev149 and myself.

 

I will be handling the following roles of general UK-Dirt admin:

*Announcing general UK Dirt bans for breaking general UK Dirt rules (ie off-track offences).

*Inviting applications for new admin member positions.

*Resolving disputes within the admin team and/or cross-league disputes with members.

 

Kev will be taking care of these technical areas:

*Approving trial periods

*Updating bans on UK Dirt database.

*Updating the general .ukd files (ie general UK Dirt rules etc.).

*Taking backups of the database.

 

This arrangement will go into operation on a trial basis at least, with immediate effect, then if things run as smoothly as we hope they will, the system will continue like that for the foreseeable future.

 

When actual formula-specific admin positions become vacant, as has recently happened with the SSC league, members will be invited to apply for the role within a specific time frame. Once that time frame is complete all applications will be looked at and applicants assessed by us, as to which one would be best suited to filling that position. We feel that we are in the best position to know which candidates best fit the jobs, as we being existing admin members know first hand the things involved in running a formula, and being involved as a general member of the admin team.

 

Many thanks (primarily to Corny, who prepared this statement ) but also to all of our members, for helping to keep UK Dirts status as one of the worlds premier Heat Leagues.

 

Best wishes ........ Kev and Wrighty
