Chairman's message
Welcome to the 2020 camping season and your new fixture booklet.
Thank you very much to everyone who has helped with planning meets
and putting all the information together into this booklet.
Some of the highlights for 2020 are Renfrew’s Birthday celebrations at
Lochwinnoch and Mofest is back for 2020 in Montrose. Renfrew will be
holding their celebrations at Lochbar Leisure Centre from the 17 th to
21 st September. Perth and Angus are holding their Mofest meet at
Montrose Sports Ground from the 19 th to the 25 th May. Bands play in
the pubs and hotels throughout Montrose over the holiday weekend.
Scottish Region, the DA’s and Sections are running 41 Temporary
Holiday Sites in 2020. They are spread all over the country from April
to November so please make the most of them.
Once again, huge congratulations to our Youth members who retained
the Austin Trophy for another year. Well done everyone!!
Thank you very much to everyone who has helped with running events
during 2019. It is your hard work which makes the events successful.
However, as usual help is needed with running events throughout the
country in 2020. So please volunteer and give up a little of your time to
help keep the events successful. If you are not sure what’s involved or
who to approach please give me a call. My phone number is on the
next page.
Finally, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me over the
past year to carry out the role of being your Chairman. It has been a
pleasure.

Some Useful Guidance
In order to ensure that Club Meets and holiday sites are safe and
enjoyable for all campers there is some simple guidance which we
should all follow. More detailed information on the guidelines
summarised below can be found in the Club publication Green Paper
3.18 (version 12) Guidance for Stewards of Meets and Temporary
Holiday Sites.
• Proof of Club membership must be shown by all participating
members at all camping events.
• Members’ camping units may not be left unoccupied overnight,
except in exceptional circumstances, at any Meet or THS
organised under the Club’s camping exemptions.
• All vehicles must be restricted to 5 mph on the event field, and
learner drivers are not allowed. Vehicle movement between
11pm and 7am is not permitted, unless in exceptional
circumstances.
• As a precaution against fire, units must be pitched at least six
metres apart from adjacent units.
• Members should be aware of the potential danger to campers of
carbon monoxide poisoning. The use of gas, petrol or charcoal
barbeques within awnings or tents is not permitted due to the
fire risk and danger of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• It is strongly recommended that all units carry a suitable BS/EN3
approved fire extinguisher or fire blanket, and that everyone
should be aware of how to use the one they have.
• It is strongly recommended that a bucket of water should be
placed outside each camping unit, as a necessary near-to-hand
firefighting tool.
52
• Gas cylinders, with a capacity greater than 15kg, are not permitted
at Club events for supplying touring caravans, motorhomes
or tents. Neither is the use of gas cylinders to supply a
camping unit via an external barbeque supply point.
• It is advisable that each unit should have a first aid kit.
• Campers should show respect to the landowner’s property, particularly
trees, fences, buildings, equipment and stock.
• Dogs and other pets must be kept under control at all times. They
must always be on a lead not more than two metres long, if outside
a unit.
• It is forbidden to fly kites or model aircraft, including Drones at
events. The use of catapults, airguns, firearms, bows and arrows
or similar equipment is also not permitted. Ball games and bubble
generating toys/equipment/machines are acceptable only
with permission of the Steward on an open space away from
units.
• There should be no noise whatsoever between 11pm and 7am,
except where a camper requires the operation of a generator
during the night for medical purposes.
• Members must collect waste water in a receptacle, and should
not allow it to overflow and foul the ground.
