| Michael McSweeney | Mar 16 2023, 9:25am | Hi Everyone Following extensive discussions by the committee we have decided to implement the following changes to the race registration process. From April 12th onwards, all IMRA races across the country will be online pre-entry only. The use of vouchers will be discontinued from that date onwards. To coincide with this change, and to allow a reasonable amount of flexibility, we are changing the cut off times to enter our races closer to the race start times. These will be as follows: - 12 noon on the day of a mid-week evening race - 6 pm the evening before a weekend race We will review these race cut off times over the coming races once this new system has had a chance to settle down and adjust if necessary. We will be reimbursing IMRA members for vouchers cards already purchased over previous years. Details of this reimbursement scheme will be made available soon. These changes are being implemented to simplify the registration and race results process which, as we all know, is wholly facilitated and delivered by volunteers. We are also conscious of the need to work with and adhere to the permit and race conditions set by the various organisations and landowners we deal with. Up until April 12th, vouchers can be used at races where race number limits have not been set through the permits granted. Our jam-packed calendar of races is now in full swing, don’t forget to pick an event to volunteer while you are picking your race dates for yourselves…for every 10 races you complete with IMRA, you are expected to volunteer at another race. Without volunteers, IMRA can not function. Let’s not leave it to the usual suspects. Thanks, Miriam |
| Michael McSweeney | Mar 16 2023, 9:32am | Hi all, I've just copied Miriams post from a few weeks back. April 12th is the date to watch. Its also International Human Space Flight Day in memory of Yuri. Micheal. |
| Miriam Maher | Mar 16 2023, 9:47am | Thanks Michael Yes clock ticking on the use of vouchers, but look at it this way, soon you won’t have to worry about salvaging a voucher card from the back pocket of your jeans after a wash and hoping it can still be legible / used! We are aiming to have the details of the reimbursement scheme for unused vouchers available before April 12th. Thanks and Happy St Patrick’s Weekend to you all, hope there’s a few hills in the mix for everyone. Miriam |
| Karen Devenney | Apr 11 2023, 9:05pm | Hi guys, any update on reimbursement for vouchers please? Thanks |
| Miriam Maher | Apr 11 2023, 9:14pm | Hi Karen We're in the process of finalising those details. Should have them ready to circulate very soon. Committee is meeting for our monthly meeting next week. All going to plan, we will have the scheme details circulated soon after. Thanks Miriam |
| Karen Devenney | Apr 11 2023, 9:39pm | Thank you! |
| Miriam Maher | Apr 21 2023, 10:10pm | Quick update to say that the system for reimbursement of vouchers that any members still have is now in the process of being finalised. We need to utilise a IT solution to capture applications for reimbursement and make the process as streamlined as possible, both to apply and for the actual refunds to be then processed. As I'm sure you can appreciate this is all being done in the spare time of the committee members involved and along with all the other ongoing tasks for the current races. So once the process is sorted and set up we will be circulating details of how members can apply for reimbursement of vouchers. Until then, keep those cards in a safe place! Thanks Miriam |
