Important Message At a Divisional Meeting held on 26th April, 2008 advice was sought on the current situation as to provision of Fire Extinguishers on Centre Rallies. Advice from the Caravan Club Health and Safety Executive was as follows:- As we are neither Employees of the Caravan Club or an Employer, the Health and Safety at Work Act does not apply to Rallies. We are not required to supply Fire Extinguishers on Rallies and if we opt to do so we leave ourselves open to action for any accident or incident that may occur in their use or misuse. Every intended user should also be given full training on the correct use of the equipment. We were strongly advised to encourage our members to look to their own Safety and supply their own fire precautions (i.e. Extinguishers or a Bucket to be filled with sand or water on Site) and not to continue with the system we have in place. A Centre Committee meeting was held on the 31st April and this subject was discussed. Whilst it is realised that this has been a controversial problem for some years it was now felt that it would be unwise to ignore the Caravan Club's final and firm advice. It was felt that Committee Members and Rally Officers should not be left liable in the event of an accident or incident causing injury or damage. The Committee unanimously voted to stop making Fire Extinguishers available on Gwent Rallies.

The Dingestow Rally 24th-26th October 2008 This Rally is now full. Can members please not send any more booking slips in until after the AGM, as we will not know whether we can set up a waiting list until nearer the rally date. Gareth & Lyn, Ian & Bel do offer their apologies but this rally has become so popular that it nearly fills up at the AGM and is full after the rally. This is an expensive rally but does not seem to deter the members who book it. We will update accordingly as any changes occur. Plaques from the 2007 Rally have gone out in the post, but I posted them before Christmas with other mail which I have found out some of the mail has just reached its destination. Any members who marked envelopes for delivery by hand will have them when I catch them out on the rally fields. Lyn & Bel - Rally Officers---- Gareth & Ian - Assistant Officers |
Use of £2 Rally Book Vouchers (i.e. Vouchers issued free with Rally Books) To clear up any confusion about the use of these vouchers we would like to clarify the position. Club members who register with our Centre for the first time will be sent a current Rally Book and a £2 voucher free of charge Rally books are then issued to Gwent Members who pay £2 and order the New Rally Book from the Secretary. The Rally Book will be issued with a £2 voucher for use as a deposit for any Rally during that current year thereby ensuring that Members who Rally during the year will receive the Rally Book FREE. Members may buy a second book if required but a second voucher will not be issued. These vouchers cannot be used for any other reason (including purchases of next years's Rally Book, Socials, purchasing equipment etc) as they are a concession to encourage and thank Members who Rally. Non Gwent Members can of course purchase a book but a voucher will not be issued. Centre Members who opt not to purchase a Rally Book will be sent a list of Rallies and notification of next years AGM by the Secretary. |
| Thank you for registering with our Centre! We would like to remind you how important it is to re-register with the Centre when the time comes for you to renew your membership with the Caravan Club. We would also like to thank all the Members who remembered to do so last year, as with your help the Centre qualified for an extra £200 grant from the Caravan Club. This money will, of course, be used for the benefit of all of you during 2006. Membership of the Centre is FREE to you but benefits all of us. Thanks for your past co-operation Hon. Treasurer on behalf of your Committee. |
