Minimum amount of Maximum pilot weight
Does anyone know when the JARs decreed that gliders must henceforth be
built to allow 110kg pilot weight? Was their a ruling at a lesser weight before that or was it just up for grabs?

Minimum amount of Maximum pilot weight
Certainly was already in place, and not new, when I first got involved in
testing gliders for JAR 22 compliance for the BGA back in 1976. I think prior to JAR's it was a national thing and in most cases the manufacturer specified whatever was appropriate, if it came out as max load 60 kg, he probably wouldn't sell many.
