As always Alan, it's good to hear your common sense approach. However, (sorry there is a however in this one!) the main thing here is that currently a disabled player is "accommodated", another way of putting that is they are be done some kind of a "favour" by being allowed to compete. If you or I pay our entry fee we are not "accommodated" we bloody well have our rights. Yet not so the disabled player. "Special" provisions have to be put in place and they should jolly well be grateful for the trouble they are putting us to. Really? Is this how it should be? For that IS the status quo. This needs to change. And it DOES require a formalized recognition that we are ALL entitled to play and that our needs will be met as a matter of course, not as a special favour.
Think about this molehill Alan, and put yourself in a wheelchair for a little while whilst you contemplate it.
For me, this is the crucial point of the whole motion. It is a declaration by CS that we really are all equal and MUST be treated so. Not as a favour, but as a right.
