BSM & Club Championship Rules

Lambretta Club Great Britain - Best Supporting Member Rules 2012

The Lambretta Club of Great Britain will promote a championship for the road riding members in 2012. The championship controller will be CRAIG STANDEVEN, 16 St Nicholas Road, Thorne, Doncaster, DN8 5BT, email address craig@lcgb.co.uk. All correspondence regarding this championship should be sent to that address. The championship controllers decision is final in all matters regarding this championship, BUT the LCGB Committee reserve the right to overrule any decision if it is not in the interest of the club or its member(s).

The championship will be open to all paid up members of the LCGB. Should an individual's membership cease mid season, points will only be awarded up to the date the membership ends. If there is a gap between membership ending and membership being renewed, of more than one month, points will not be awarded for the period the individual was not a member. Please, therefore, renew your membership on time. For new members, points will be awarded from the date the membership secretary accepts their posted application, or receives their internet application, or the date the person makes themselves a member at the LCGB club shop stall.
 
Signing on rules.
Members must sign on BSM signing on sheets to be awarded points. The rules relating to signing on are as follows;

On the BSM signing on sheet the member must enter the details by themselves, in their own hand writing and with their usual signature. Checks will be made. The following details must be entered, FULL NAME, MEMBERSHIP NUMBER, SCOOTER CLUB, TRANSPORT, RIDER / DRIVER OR PILLION / PASSENGER, MILEAGE TO EVENT (ONE WAY) AND SIGNATURE.
The correct transport must be stated, lambretta model, other scooter manufacture, motorcycle, car, van, bus, train etc. Travelling by 2 types of transport to an event will result in the lower points being awarded, for example, part of the journey by van, part by lambretta, in this case the member must state van as transport and van points will be awarded. Missing information may result in lower or no points being awarded. All mileage should be one way to an event by the most direct route from the address held on the clubs database. If there is any variation from this the championship controller must be notified.

It is the members responsibility to ensure correct information is entered on the signing on sheet. A member signing on and supplying incorrect information, to dishonestly gain more points, will be awarded no points. Furthermore, and at the discretion of the championship controller and LCGB committee, the member may be disqualified from the full current championship year. If the member is found to have signed on with incorrect information on more than one occasion, the championship controller and LCGB committee reserve the right to issue a ban to the member competing in the championship for the current year and the following year. If a member who was not at an event is found to be signed on the signing on sheet, they may be disqualified from the full current championship year and may also be banned from competing the following year at the discretion of the championship controller and LCGB committee.
