^I was gonna say if you only do <6 sessions a year it might take you a year and a half to be ready to do race training. I think the current system is about right, and at some point you have to leave responsibility to decide whether you are ready for a session to the riders.
Manchester's system is about as strict as you get without going too far and discouraging people. HH's can be more lenient because it's a simpler track to ride. Not mention all 3 track leagues at manchester are full, so they can be very selective, whereas we are always trying to encourage more riders to get into racing.
Comments and feedback on sessions are always very useful as the coaches don't always spot everything. Feedback on the induction from someone who's ridden at others tracks before is particularly useful, as normal it's full of complete novices. More the merier!
