Minutes of this meeting will be posted on the website soon.
Clubs must still keep records of logbooks issued to their members as required by the Code of Practice.
The Federation thanks all the clubs that have in the past submitted these returns, however, privacy and the current cyber security concerns have caused a rethink of our data collection.
All records kept on Internet capable devices within the Federation have been removed.
There is plenty of time before the declaration comes into effect with at least 3 meetings of the Federation in 2023 available for Clubs to discuss before coming into operation.
