To be honest, anyone who was involved in that grading obviously didnt have the knowledge and expertise required.
As a side note - when our arena was graded for the first time things were done properly and in depth. We were happy about any issues pointed out so that we could correct them (the floor structure was checked, the roof stucture was tested to guarentee it was strong enough, the floor was measured for its thickness, along with all the polycarbonate and kickplates). Its just as much for our own peice of mind so that our insurance is valid!
This matter was bought up at the FRA meeting after the first inspection (I bought it up, and everyone agreed the grading was incorrect). The outcome of that meeting ended with a promise that another grading would be done, and if the arena was incomplete, or didnt meet the standards then there would be no classification and not an FRA sanctioned event, with all details removed from the forum. Everyone knows the outcome of that, and issues I pointed out at the second arena grading were just ignored! I'm not going to go any further into this on the forum, as I believe the rest should be discussed in the next FRA meeting which I hope the EO's are allowed to attend?
