There could have been a vote at the recent AGM on whether the Rich/Spens should reintroduce FIDE rating this season. Judging by the comments on here I suspect a reintroduction would have been supported. It is irrelevant that certain higher rated players are against it - if the democratic vote was in favour then it restarts.
The issue is already covered here: <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://chessscotland.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=750">viewtopic.php?f=11&t=750</a><!-- l --> New FIDE rules make it technically impossible in the current format of the competition. What was the point of voting in favour if you cant actually carry out what you have just voted on.
The only solution would be each round played in a central venue where you get your licensed arbiter to attend. Would clubs prefer that format just so FIDE rating can restart ?
