“ERA would like to apologise for the implication in our early post that we were communicating on behalf of BE, it was ERA that were seeking to understand riders view on “Unclassified Results” in order to be able to better represent rider views to BE. BE have asked us to publish the following...

This entire issue is at the top of ERA's agenda at the moment. We will be formally raising the matter again at the August Sports Committee meeting. We are working on a survey, to be filled in anonymously, to collect details of events at which you have had Waitlist/Substitution/Refund problems...

Last year we had promised to wait for permission to publish, and considered ourselves bound by our word... I believe that this year we will not be asking for permission. The vast majority of organisers were very happy for us to publish, including many whose Feedback Summaries were negative in...

A question to our Members - would the 2 weeks after an event be enough time for you to give Feedback? We want to make the whole system MUCH slicker and more professional this year, one way to do this would be to allow just 2 weeks accepting Feedback, 1 week for us to collate, summarise and send...

Please go to the ERA Facebook page for details of how to view them. It was an amazing night, and the photos are fantastic. :) :) :) :) :)

Here: http://www.eventridersassociation.org/index.php (you need to sign in or log in first, it's quick, easy and free.) Then go to News, then ERA Awards. Categories: Best Organised Event, Best Event Secretary. All candidates were put forward by members. Thankyou!

To be fair, I have done about 1/3-1/2 the summaries and can only remember one or two feedbacks where someone had obviously had a hellish day and wanted to vent. Fortunately there were other feedbacks to balance them out for those events, but for others, there have not been. We've done our best...

VRIN, i see your point, and obviously there is a difference between making a profit, breaking even (having taken a salary for work done, time taken etc) and making a loss. This is one reason why we are pushing for transparency. badattitude, where did I say that we asked for permission to...

But we HAVE published negative comments about events - with the Organisers' permissions! We do offer riders feedback on all events (that riders have bothered to respond about - it's not our fault if they chose not to respond about some events, yet) and we are not biased in favour of Organisers...

I think it's BE's job, as the affiliating body, to guide organisers who deliver events which don't come up to scratch, not ERA's. I can think of an event or two this year which received a lot of BE attention, and will be hugely improved next year... or not run at all, perhaps. If you take the...

Thankyou, that's great, please pm me if you're serious! We did try having paper forms but it took a lot of time up if an ERA Rep had to stand with a competitor and get them to fill it in (and many weren't keen iirc). Then the Rep had to input them all by hand, typing out comments - a lot of work...

above Milton Keynes for some reason, not in alphabetical order (i'll get it changed) but it IS there.

Absolutely. We did our best to encourage eventers up north to give feedback - we have a very dedicated team up there and feel they did a lot! We are determined to have as much as possible of this system computerised for next year; it was a lot of work to collate the feedbacks, turn the many...

Oatridge is up there. Floors, Eglington, Kirriemuir, Brechin, and Hopetoun - we received feedback, and we are still awaiting permission to publish, or still trying to get permission to publish as some Organisers have, unfortunately, NOT liked the initiative at all. We received no feedback at...

to everyone who helped us by filling one in, we were really impressed by how fair minded 99% of feedback was (there was hardly any "I had a terrible day" venting at all). We received feedback on approximately 70% of B.E. events, which for the first year we thought was a great showing. Published...
