But I have a question that I would like to ask you
and Becky, and any other fellow RMs. I have officially been an RM for 4 years
now and have been asst RM/Ride Sec for my mother's rides since I was 12yo so I'm
not new to management and AERC's paperwork.
What information do you need from the rider cards
(besides pull codes) that has to be put in your ride results for AERC? This is
an honest question.
When I fill out my AERC forms all I have to have is
my master registration sheet and my timer sheet. I give the rider cards back at
awards because I don't need them for anything and it does save me mailing them
out later.
I'm just curious, because I have heard several RMs
say they have to have them and just as many that don't and I was just wondering
what the difference was.
The rider
cards are the property of the ride management. They are our records and we
use to to complete our forms. Riders should not expect to get the cards back. IN
30+ years of competing at every level I have never expected my card
back. I would suggest this person manage a ride to see the amount of
paperwork and the need for the cards to complete it.
As far as FEI, usually most people don't understand how it works w/
AERC until they have done it. Often an explanation is all it takes, or
maybe not....
