Can anyone out there settle and argument.
In the past when YM exam time came around the school involved called up their friendly examiner direct, he came down and the exam was done. Out of the £120 fee or thereabouts the examiner got about £50 a head. If he was reasonably strict and regularly failed peeps then the school stopped ringing him and he lost a nice little earner. Being retired, as most of them are, this made him more then a tad subjective. A mate in the pub reckoned that is all in the past and that now all examiners come from a clearing house via the RYA and that schools have no say in who they get. Boll***s was my reply it has not, and will never, change hence thay continual comments in the boaty press about inadequate YMs.
Has the system changed?????
