I will footnote that by saying that it is probably unreasonable to change the rules at this stage. I am also very glad that the class rules have for once been published well in advance, and are clear and concise so that everyone knows what they are in for. Hopefully no protests this time!

Good footnote,
I was a bit surprised at your first post. How funny would it be to simply through the current regs out the window and start again with 8 weeks to go and after it's all approved, returned and organized.

We would love your help, waiving flags or general duties if your offereing as it's going to be a big day.

A lot of this was discussed after the last natmeet anyway.

The website link to the program is also broken.
