ICCF Congress Proposals 2024

Russell Sherwood  Monday, July 22, 2024

All,

The time has now come to review ICCF Rule change proposals for Congress

https://www.iccf.com/Proposals.aspx?id=78

WCCF Premium members please review the list and let me know your views ( For or Against). If you have any strong views on any please let me know and this will be added to the spreadsheet.

For those involved we will then review and debate until a common view is achieved.

It is important this year that we get maximum input as there are some "interesting" proposals this year, which could have significant implications.

Out of interest - my own initial view has 21 for and 11 against!

Closing date for Input 31/7/24

Send your input to Russell Sherwood
