[2011 - 05 - 25] Draft of new rule book
Andrew Taylor and Hans Jansen op de Haar have published drafts for a new Rule book and the basis for a Compulsory book.
Based on their combined years of experience as flyers and judges they concluded an update or replacement of current books was needed.
You can download the books from
http://hans.kitesonines,org/download
Comments are very welcome, as are ideas for compulsory figures; please send them to Andrew, Hans or your ND.
For clarification (and in response to some concerns that have been raised) -
1) The Rules Books are, at present, first public draft versions, awaiting feedback, comments and contributions from Stack members and others seriously interested in kite competitions.
2) The deadline for submitting feedback, comments and contributions is 15 August 2011
3) In the period between 15 August and 15 September 2011 we will endeavour to collate and incorporate your contributions into the Rules Books
4) In the week before Eurocup 2011, we will present our final drafts of the Rules Books.
5) The final draft Rules Books will then be subject to -possible- ratification before or on by 31 December 2011 and implementation (if at all) from 01 January 2012
6) We believe that this is an orderly, reasonable and manageable time frame
7) We do not propose any action that does not have the support of the Stack members, as expressed either direct or via their National Directors.

At the first meeting of Siec (march 14) the French club "Les Galibots" proposed to organise the Euro Cup 2010 in Calais (as suggested already in Weston super Mare, at the EC of 2009).
Since all was quiet for some time, Steffen Versteegh, ND of the BeNeLux, said a few months ago, it would be possible to hold the EC in Scheveningen, during the festival last weekend of september.
Siec is now awaiting the final bid of "Les Galibots"/ FFVL/ Calais, that is due before the end of June. The date for the EC in Calais would be 1/ 2/ 3 October
So more news will follow soon!
[2010 - 06 - 24] New SIEC members
Dear STACK members,
At the end of the period for nominating people for the new SIEC the returning officer, Marc van der Graaf, had received 4 nominations for four different position, non for the position of Treasurer. Marc concluded that actual elections were not necessary, just a control on membership of the nominees and their supporters.
The new members are Hubert Dessaint as Chairperson (for a second time); Andrew Taylor (also second time), International Head Judge; Lothar Richter, Pilots Representative and Hans Jansen op de Haar, Event Coordinator (and, for the time being, also treasurer and website administrator)
On march 14, at Neux les Mines a first meeting of Siec took place, a second one in Calais, on june 19.
[2010 - 05 - 10] SIEC 2008-2010 Term Over
Dear STACK members,
the election period for the "old SIEC" has started in April 2008 and lasts till April 2010. Today, we are in May 2010. Up to now, I did not received a final announcement by our returning officer or other SIEC members about the results of our last elections. (I guess I did not missed the official announcement.) This confuses myself a little.
Thus, I declare hereby that I retire from the STACK Treasurers Office.
I will send an email to NDs and SIEC maling list today to figure out how to hand over the STACK documents and all other things.With best regards,
Steffen Sowade
