Further West Hampshire Rallies for August 2020

Dear Member

This is to let you know that your Committee are working hard to arrange additional Rallies in August 2020 for your enjoyment. These have been sourced including a rally for August bank holiday, however the appropriate permissions (4b’s etc.) have to be in place before we can put them onto the online booking System. It is hoped that this will be towards the end of next week.

As you are aware with everything at the moment, new Guidelines have to be introduced to cope with Covid 19, rallying is no different, the committee are working on Guidelines for rallies at present and will issue these shortly.

Rallies

Dear Ralliers

Following our last update on 11 June, the Committee have agreed to continue with the suspension of rallies until the end of July.

This will bring West Hampshire in line with our neighbouring Centres.

This has not been an easy decision to take, having been discussed at length at both the May & June Committee meetings on the safe way forward. We have also waited until receiving an update on 16 June from CAMC with COVID/secure protocol advice. Unfortunately this advice DOES NOT give a definitive date for returning to rallying, but includes measures on how to prepare, which include:-

NO SOCIAL GATHERINGS from different households/outfits including use of awnings/canopies/gazebos
NO cash payments
NO flagpole meets or raffles
2m social distancing at water & service points.
Following NHS Track & Trace Policy in the event of anyone becoming unwell during the rally

…….so a different rallying experience than we are all used to.

Whilst CAMC are planning & hope to open some of their sites, this is still subject to Govt confirmation. Once open, this will then allow time to see how the changes being made bed in – and help shape how we could rally safely.

Unfortunately, we were informed by Solent Grange (Carrington) on 17 June that they have cancelled all 2020 events – including cancellation of our August Bank Holiday rally.
The Rally Officers have sent a separate email to all those with bookings.

Safety is our paramount concern and we hope that you will respect the Committee decision.
Like you, we want to get out – but only when the time is right – so please remember; #weareallinthistogether.

Regards
Your Committee

Rallies

Dear Ralliers
The Website/Facebook is currently showing all West Hampshire Centre rallies are suspended until the end of June. As you are aware CAMC HQ have suspended all activity until 4 July inclusive therefore, the Henley and Hayling Island rallies are unable to take place.

We are awaiting an update from CAMC containing the COVID/secure protocol/advice for all Centres to help with operating any rallies when they can take place.

Unfortunately, this means the Centre is unable to give an update on the three other July rallies ie; Sunnydale, Pyesmead and Bamptons until this is received. We appreciate the uncertainty this causes for both rally officers and ralliers.

Thank you in advance for your patience whilst waiting on advice and putting safe measures in place for us all to enjoy our hobbies once again.

Your Committee
