I agree to adhere to the rules & regulations of the campsite and to keep dogs on a lead whilst on the camping field or take-off field. I will report any damage to the meet organiser.

The Club regrets that, due to unacceptable lack of control of and cleaning up after some animals at previous meets, any non-compliance with these perfectly reasonable conditions will result in a person or persons initially being warned and subsequently asked to leave the event. Exclusion of the person(s) from future Club meets is likely.

Accommodation: Camping this year is on the traditional launch field, unless numbers are small, in which case we may be better on the main campsite but we'll see. It will be confirmed prior to the meet.

We would ask entrants who are not camping on site but are using the site facilities to consider making a £10 voluntary contribution to the Club for the provision of the portaloos, which everyone uses, of course! Many thanks!

A reminder that dogs are welcome to the meet but must be kept on a lead at all times on the camping/rally field and the main campsite and surrounding area – this is a working farm and there are no exceptions. Please also clear up after your dog as required.
