Applications for 2012 Races, National Series & National Championships

With the race season now at a close, TI would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all our race organisers on another successful race season where a record 140 + races were sanctioned by TI.

In the TI office, we are now busy preparing for the next race season.  First and foremost is our 2012 race calendar.  As many of you will be aware, we have been developing and upgrading all of our online systems this year.  As part of this work, we are also in the finishing stages of developing a new online race request system.  

Alongside our new race request system, we are also in the final stages of completing upgrades to our membership system which we anticipate will be ready to open to take 2012 membership from the 8^th October onwards.

So what does this mean for you?  Well, if you are going to be the race organiser for a race next year, you will need to take out 2012 membership before applying for your 2012 race.  All you need to do is simply renew or take out membership for 2012, then log into your membership using your login, and submit your online race request.

If you wish your race to be considered for inclusion in the National Series (NS) or National Championships (NC), you must apply for this at the time of submitting your online race request.
