Changing a rule

First bit is a simple statement - The BRCA doesn’t create rules. The Section Committees don’t create rules. The Membership creates the rules and the Officials you vote in enforce them. Any one of us (you, your club mates, an official - any of us) can change or create a rule. Or more accurately we can ‘propose’ a rule or rule change. This is done annually at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) for each racing Section. If, when your proposed change is raised at the AGM, the majority of those present agree with you (after the matter has been explained and quite possibly discussed – even possibly amended) then a changed or new rule goes in the book – it’s as simple as that.

But

You need to know how to make that process work, so here goes:- Firstly; discuss it with other racers at your club, especially those that might have been to a few other clubs or raced in other classes. They may well come up with an observation that’s of benefit, or let your idea get kicked around on one of the discussion forums on the internet. Secondly; is this something that you only need to change to suit your club?

All too often a discussion comes up about a club class and ‘the BRCA rules say….’ gets quoted. A couple of pointers here - the BRCA General Rules are the only ones that MUST be adhered to at your club. If you want to modify or even create a set of rules for the classes of cars your club wants to race that’s perfectly fine – after all that’s exactly where most new classes come from.

So if you’ve got this far, you have a new rule proposal to make, you’ve not been shot down in flames by your club mates, and it’s something that needs changing for the class nationally or the sport as a whole. To make this change this is what you need to do If it’s a change to the Constitution or the General Rules; Complete the proposal form and have it ‘seconded’ by another member on the day who also wants to see the change happen.
