Corporate Members of the BDC in December 2010 and following my Press Release on 21 st April 2011 informing you of registration requirements for amateur competitor registration for all BDC competitions and championships, I set out below Rule 15. which applies from 1 st January 2012 to 31 st December 2014

(b) The registration covers a calendarx year and must be renewed on 1st January regardless of when it was taken out the previous year.
(c) Competitors must carry their registration cards with them and produce them for examination at competition registration points as provided. Entry to competitions or championships will be refused, except in exceptional circumstances, if a valid card cannot be produced.
