Newsletter 2016
The ISA would like to thank all our 2015 ISA members who showed their loyal support within its competitions and governing body, helping your ISA produce quality shows for you and its sponsors.
This year we would like to welcome you back to the new 2016 season as the ISA and your sport continue to grow for you. We have written warnings and suspensions to those who break future ISA rules & regulations. But all that sign up as members this year must apply to all rules and regulations of ISA. BUT YOU CAN COMPETE AS A NONE MEMBER AND PAY FOR EACH SHOW (£30/€40). RULES AND REGULATIONS ONLY APPLY AT EACH SHOW EVENT . Though without discipline and structure within your governing body its members/sponsors and international competitions will not give the ISA recognition it needs to grow for your sport to the height it deserves.
BENEFITS OF BEING A PAID FULL ISA MEMBER FOR THE 2016 SEASON
What does it mean AS A PAID ANNUAL MEMBER (£60/€80)? All paid annual members will receive all events FREE there after for one year. A year that will cover all events within the ISA (unless stated). Paid Annual Members will receive membership number EMAIL ON SUBMITTANCE OF ANNUAL APPLICATION ONLINE FORM. Then your emailed membership number will follow as a membership card and will allow you FREE enter to major events run by the ISA (Unless stated). All Paid Annual Members will also receive financial support to international events for our top competitors….Being loyal means the biggest Series, Leagues and World events in your sport will use and recognise the ISA and its structure. In turn we will support the best to their competition, in a fair structured manor. We will reciprocate the gesture to do the same at our internationals with their World athletes plus as an added bonus we will give full members 10% off all Daddy Gear products (Quote your membership number).
The ISA will grow World relationships within the sport, to grow in trust and structure for all. Members must in turn show loyalty for the ISA and be ambassadors to your country – supporting your sport and competing in it home or away can be the proudest thing you will do. The ISA will NOT tolerate any derogatory comments about your governing body ISA on these World public forums or websites. This does NOTHING for the sport or members within it. If you have any problems or issues you can contact your area marshals and problems will be resolved, that’s what your governing body does – governs and sort issues and delivers your sport.
