These rules were replicated from the now defunt website http://www.latrinidad.com/rules-of-la-trinidad/
These were created back in 2005 when the LaTrinidad.com site went live. 15 years later, perhaps the new owners want to suggest some changes? If so, please complete the form BELOW so the Committee can consider.
