  1. Hi Paul, Manu Ars of the french federation ( insurance rep )told me it was the federation that did not recognise it - they last applied 2 years ago and were asked to provide docs in french of english - yet to be delivered see you soon
  2. hi all, the insurance update was well summarised by paul. Have a look when the minutes come out to see the council views post AGM and certain facts that came to light after the AGM. Somebody said they did not vote to let germans in after a consultation period - quite right, however you didn't put a time frame on it either ( just playing devils advocate here - being balanced and all that ). I happily went to speak to some german mates at World team and told them i was looking forward to them coming over to UK ( so you can see where i stand ). There apperas to be really only one insurer in UK who will touch us and who we have more than tested the patience of - so lets back off a bit and allow the people you elected to get it sorted - ( and if you didn't vote you need to stop crying about it and act / stand up in public not just on a splatter wall ) As for the financial motivations - I can only speak for me and i have none - for those unsure, have a read of the candidate literature as a declaration of financial interest has to be made here. As a slight tangent, I know the French Federation official who deals with Insurance - they recognise BPA cover but not german next.....
  3. Hi guys who were booked in for FS coaching last night - sorry but my car skidded off the road in the snow&ice round our way - sparky and me had to leave it over night for the recovery people - it then got torched by some helpful soul at half one am ( according to the police ) - sparky now waiting for a new car. Apologies we couldnt get to MK last night - hope to see you in next tuesday's class
  4. hi fella - this tunnel is well worth the wait - why not try asking round on the collegiate scene to see who may have block time booked - BPCA address / email - also have you tried any other forums ? And UK skydiving often have time block booked - give them a try
