Dear All

Having thrown in deliberate mistake in my last communication (well spotted
Chris!) I recall the discussion regarding a pilot's move from Novice to
Intermediate. The word "OR" is correct and we said that when a Novice had
competed in 2 or more Regionals they would be considered an Intermediate. I
think in this case we could dispense with the "additional year".
