ANNUAL UPDATE
This is the time of year when the deadline for the 2009 Honour Roll and
Annual Listing looms large. Applications and updates submitted on-line on
or before 1 February will count for the 2009 tables so long as the
supporting cards sent to checkpoints are postmarked no later than that
date. Updates postmarked after 1 February will be processed in the normal
way but scores will be held over to the following appearance. Listing in
the tables is restricted to those participants who have updated their
scores at least once in the previous five years. In the case of the 2009
tables this means since the 2004 annual listings. If you wish to remain
listed, check to see that you qualify and, if not, make a submission on
or before 1 February 2009. The tables will appear on the RSGB IOTA
website in the Spring.
