For some time SAUQLD had resisted applying for CAMS affiliation. In the past couple of months the matter of CAMS affiliation has been revisited and after some considerable discussion at recent Committee Meetings and General Meetings with the new Executive body it was agreed that it would be in the best interests of the club to seek affiliation.

One of the major benefits is that it is now no longer necessary to be a member of another CAMS affiliated club in order to qualify for a CAMS L1 or L2 license and this will save members some money.

CAMS affiliated car clubs have the right to:

• Have representation at State Council;

• Debate issues at State Council and move and second motions at State Council;

• Vote on issues at State Council (subject to membership numbers and period of affiliation); and

• Issue Level 1 and Level 2 CAMS Competition Licences to their members (where the licence is applicable to the event).

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, can:

• Obtain advice from CAMS administration when required, including advice on technical, sporting, safety and legal issues;

• Gain access to and use of CAMS systems including judicial, safety, technical, accreditation, training and compliance systems and other intellectual property belonging to CAMS;

• Gain access to the expertise, developed over 50 years, within the CAMS administration and within the CAMS membership base; and

• Obtain support from CAMS administration with regard to officials’ training and event organisation.

CAMS car clubs, through their affiliation, are covered by CAMS insurances, including:

• CAMS General Public & Product Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance;

• Personal Accident Insurance; and

• Voluntary Workers’ Insurance.

Other benefits enjoyed by CAMS affiliated car clubs include:

• Operating under an integrated international system of motor sport regulation which provides stable, universal standards of competency, organisational capacity, fairness and judicial process for all participants;

• Affiliation with a credible, authoritative and internationally accredited governing body that is identifiable to Government and other interest groups;

• The opportunity to be part of the CAMS affiliated car club network and take part in events run by other CAMS affiliated car clubs;

• Access to information via the CAMS web site (www.cams.com.au), CAMS Bulletins and the CAMS Magazine (tri-annual publication);

• Access to CAMS’ ‘authority to conduct a non-competitive event’ permits, a product allowing CAMS affiliated car clubs the option of staging non-competitive events such as concours d’elegance and social runs under CAMS insurances.

• The opportunity for promotion of the affiliated car club via the CAMS website (approximately 95,000 hits per month) through the ‘club search’ function, providing information and contact details to prospective members; and

• The opportunity to feature a link from the CAMS website to the affiliated car club website.

For the benefit of CAMS affiliated car clubs and CAMS members, CAMS is obligated to:

• Maintain its status as the National Sporting Authority (ASN) appointed by the FIA;

• Maintain a risk analysis and risk management program of the highest standard to provide the safest possible environment for competitors, officials and the general public;

• Maintain a public liability insurance policy with a minimum cover of $100 million in which the excess (if any) is not the responsibility of the event organiser/club (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Maintain a personal accident insurance policy covering competitors and officials (see insurance section of this document for further details);

• Provide a professional management and administration team which is accessible at all reasonable times; and

• Establish, manage, maintain and monitor a judicial system in accordance with the FIA International Sporting Code and the National Competition Rules of CAMS and to ensure that it delivers outcomes which are fair to all parties.

Regards,

SAUQLD Exec Team

Great stuff. Now how about a motorsport championship now? :P

We have had problems in the past where unless the motor sport facility or activities are in everyone’s own suburb they won’t pay/come.

Build it and people cannot be bothered *shrugs*

We have a pretty fun calendar for 2009 covering a verity of things, which should give people the taste for bigger and better things to come in the near future (SAUQLD championship) for example.

XYZ events over the 12 months with awards handed out at the end of year Christmas dinner.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪

      I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
