Spain, Belgium, Denmark and UK are underway, Please contact your club (ABC for you) as the BAI reps have a copy of the current draft, and each country is collating their input and comments through their affiliated clubs or members.

G'day from Oz, The Gippsland Blokart Users Group, Victoria, Australia is at http:/​/​www.mailspaces.com/​spaces/​gbug/​ With tide, wind and meeting info for Sandy Point on Waratah Bay. 15km's of 100m wide hard sand on the southern most public beach on the Australian mainland. Often winds reach 50kts, with speeds of 89.7km/​h recorded by the locals, so pack the small sails if you plan a trip.
