Some versions of Adobe allow the viewer to move quickly between bookmarks. 1st Hinchley Wood Scout Group Registered Charity No - S Please reply to: 30 March 2015 The Review Officer (Elmbridge BC) Boundary Commission Layden House 76-86 Turmill Street London EC1M 5LG Dear Sirs, Boundary Review, Hinchley Wood Ward, Elmbridge Borough Council I am writing to you as a sometime Hinchley Wood resident and long-serving Group Scout Leader of 1st Hinchley Wood Scouts. I have great concerns about the proposed Borough ward boundary changes which I am sure will have a large negative effect on local democracy in the relatively small community of Hinchley Wood, which I lived in from birth and with which I have since had continuous involvement as a member and then leader in the local Scout Group. Since the building of Hinchley Wood in the inter-war years it has been a ward, firstly of Esher UDC and subsequently Elmbridge BC and for many years has been represented by two Hinchley Wood Residents Association councillors. The current councillors both live in the community, are well known locally and are able to focus on Hinchley Wood issues. The plan to split up the current Hinchley Wood ward and divide the representation between Long Ditton and Weston Green would mean that the village community is unequally divided on an arbitrary population-based geographical basis without regard to what is in those areas.

    Safety Plan 2018 Issued to: …………………………………………………….Date: ………………………… CONTENTS Safety Plan Page 3 Navigation Rules Page 6 River Map Page 8-9 Risk Assessment Page 10 Certificate of Competency Page 13 Certificate of Watermanship Page 14 2 28/02/18 SAFETY PLAN Declaration Weyfarers Rowing Club is committed to keeping members safe when on the water and during land-based training activities. We endeavour to meet this commitment by following British Rowing’s Row Safe: A Guide to Good Practice in Rowing, and having a clearly communicated policy that is understood by members, coaches and others in positions of responsibility. Certificates of Competency and Watermanship All members, and at the end of any Learn to Row course, all participants must pass the Competency Test before moving past Improver Level. This will test their knowledge and practical application of rowing safety, use of the club’s boats and blades safely and awareness of the club’s Navigation Rules. In normal conditions (White Boards) all boats must have at least one experienced member on board who is capable of coaching the crew. In Yellow Board conditions only experienced members or improvers with the permission of a committee member are allowed onto the river. Further information on this aspect can be found in the Risk Assessment section: page 6. All members are encouraged to take and pass the Certificate of Watermanship: This will further test their boat handling skills, navigational knowledge and their abilities to conduct an appropriate risk assessment before boating. Swimming standards All rowers, including beginners, must be in good health and able to swim a minimum of 50 metres in light clothing.
