Australian Division Name Change

Whilst at the Duke Trophy held in Brisbane in July, I approached the president of the Queensland IRA and requested that a submission be be made on my behalf at the AGM of Australian Ice Racing, that consideration be given to renaming the 'Veterans' division in Australia to 'Masters' division.

This was accepted and it now brings Australia into line with most other countries, and I believe it better reflects and promotes the participation of skaters who have reached the age of 30, but are not inspired by being referred to as 'Veterans'.

A simple change, but one I hope will promote the division here in Australia.
