Could not agree more. I have e-mailed the ACU twice to try to confirm the qualfying dates for next year, as all that was said was that the dates for next year would be similar to this, but nothing confirmed. when i phoned them all they said was that they were waiting for a meeting. We are trying to plan, which includes raising the money, something alien to the ACU. One small point that may help is that as the numbers were down this year they extended the closing dates. so they must realise that this situation will be worse next year
