As from when are the lifts in children categories in performing arts allowed?

Question from Seamus Byrne GNDO President

As from when are the lifts in children categories in performing arts allowed? This year or as from 2013?

Answer by Mr. Rules Book

The rule regarding lifts in the children’s division was passed only for Production. The proposal and vote is listed below. Since the implementation date is not listed, it will go into effect on January 1, 2012.

PROPOSAL 11 by the Presidium - PASSED Unanimous

TO DELETE THE RULE REGARDING LIFTING CHILDREN IN PRODUCTION

To delete the following Rule in Production: ‘’Lifts in the Children’s age range are forbidden and Junior and Adult performers may not lift Children.‘‘
Reason: It is very difficult to control this rule and to be not selective in checking it.
