Are you talking about AARCMCC affiliation, or insurance? Surely it's affiliation that is important and the insurance is a part of that?

To host an AARCMCC sanctioned event a club has to be AARCMCC affiliated and meet some other requirements, one of which is a certain insurance standard. Those clubs who have joined the AARCMCC insurance scheme meet the standard. Other affiliated clubs can still host sanctioned events if their policy meets the standard AARCMCC require. There is some talk about the standard being raised, I'm not sure where that is up to.
Probably more of an issue is dual sanctioning. An announcement was made at the AGM 2 weeks ago that AARCMCC would no longer dual sanction any State Championship with another body. It was made clear that this decision was taken after one particular body (that I won't name here) behaved in an obstructionist way involving legal proceedings. The concept of dual sanctioning has always been hard to reconcile with the AARCMCC rules, and really I think this was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Well that along with the confusion over World Championship qualifying points at the end of last year.

AARCMCC have a group insurance policy that affiliated clubs can buy into as of late last year. The AARCMCC insurance package includes public liability, personal injury insurance for racers, travel insurance to and from meetings and indemnity insurance. Taking out the insurance option isn't a requirement of affiliation.

Bottom line is that it's a shame this event is not sanctioned as it will hurt attendance.
Best of luck to the organisers and all attending.

They always put on a great event in the 'Ville!
We'll miss racing with you and the Cheeseman this year, but as for lack of Ifmar points, I believe the vast majority of racers don't give a shit about going to the worlds, so attendance will be like every other year or better!
See you in 2014 maybe?

I won't continue any further discussion on the subject on this thread, but if anyone is interested can ask questions on the ORRCA Qld thread.

Daniel, the truth is a completely different story, ORRCA QLD has no problems with AARCMCC and the clubs but the executive committee has done some things of late that are not in the best interest of their affiliated clubs.
