Hi Everyone, can all members on Benzing Live please ensure that a
temporary evaluation is done for Benzing Live for Glendambo YBC as
the import of the Benzing Live file does not account for loss and
gain, all club secretaries will need to input this on the result day.
Moving forward everyone on Benzing Live will need to do a temporary
evaluation on the day of the race as soon as is practical to ensure
the accuracy of gain and loss can be recorded.
