CLSC Membership is compulsory if you want to sail on Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) or Pendine Sands. If you are not a member, you cannot sail on these two beaches. The CLSC provide 10 million pounds of third-party public liability insurance to its members for land sailing on selected beaches in the UK where the CLSC has obtained written permission from the landowner. You will also have the benefit of third-party liability insurance should you be responsible for injuring another member of the CLSC providing you have followed all the directions and advice given in this handbook and or by the officers of the CLSC. Please note no personal injury insurance cover is provided by the CLSC insurance policy, so you personally will not be covered for any injuries or life changing disabilities that you might sustain as a result of your land sailing activities. The policy also covers racing at an organised event should you be responsible for injuring another pilot providing you have followed all the directions and advice from the race marshals and officers. Again, you will not have any protection from our policy for any injurers sustained to yourself or conditions that may arise from life changing disabilities. Please also consider another pilot may not have the same protection from their policy if they cause injury to yourself. Day guest membership and providing an experience session Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) and Pendine Only As a member of the CLSC you are allowed to sign in a non-member for day membership on Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) and Pendine Sands only. You will be considered responsible for the guest during the day. You must ensure they understand and abide by the appropriate club rules and regulations, and the relevant Health and Safety information. If you are giving guidance to an inexperienced pilot, you must ensure that they are under your instruction at all times and must not sail off out of your sight. We will not provide insurance cover for bodily Injury to any person as a result of their inexperience or physical inability to carry out advice or instruction given by yourself. 4 If they fail to follow your instructions or are unable to safely pilot the craft, you must stop the session immediately. Day Members must complete a day membership form which must be countersigned by yourself before going on the beach. They should also carry out their equipment check, complete the CLSC online “Inspection Record” (See section 4 for greater detail) and sign in to Sailing Logbook replacing the CLSC membership number with the words “Day Membership”. The original forms and day fees must be sent to the Membership officer. Current guest membership is on a daily basis and is limited to two days per person per calendar year. To continue to sail beyond two days per calendar year the guest member must apply for Full Club Membership. The Club has adopted a Child and Youth Protection Policy which must be adhered to at all times. The policy can be downloaded from the Resources section of the Club website. You must always carry your membership card and the CLSC proof of insurance when sailing. Suitable clothing & helmets displaying the membership sticker must always be worn . Members must sign into the Club’s Sailing Logbook located in the containers at Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) and Pendine Sands before sailing on the beach, and sign out on return. CLSC identification bands must be prominently displayed on your craft or on your person. All members must actively encourage any non-members found sailing on Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) and Pendine Sands to join the Club or inform them they not permitted to sail. Persistent offenders should be reported to Carmarthen County Council or Pendine Community Council for action. Members must co-operate with the rangers/warden and obey their instructions. Racing can only take place on Cefn Sidan (Pembrey) with the written permission of Carmarthenshire County Council and the Pembrey Park management, or on Pendine Sands with the written permission of the Pendine Community Council. Separate Risk Assessments will need to be produced for such events. Members are not allowed to sail if they are under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substances. Members must memorise the accompanying beach maps, especially the access points. Members are advised to carry mobile phones for use in an Emergency. It is recommended that you store the following numbers. 5 Pembrey – Visitors Centre & HM Coastguard Pendine – CCC Wardens, HM Coastguard & QinetiQ All current contact numbers are displayed on the club website. Members are expected to report any perceived danger or pollution to the relevant parties as soon as possible. In an Emergency, dial 999 & specify an ambulance with 4wd, then ring the relevant Rangers/Wardens to arrange access. Accidents must be noted in the Club's accident book, in accordance with the Clubs reporting procedure. All Club members must adhere to the clubs Child and Youth Protection policy and report any concerns to the Club Welfare Officer or other committee member. It is important that the individual Club members keep the Club Officials & landowners informed of any incidents, accidents or unusual activity on the beach. Members are expected to be fully familiar with the rules & practices applicable to the practical use of their particular craft. The Club will monitor all recreational sailing activity, including the size & types of wind- powered craft, to ensure the safety of all other beach users. The CLSC & landowners will constantly review the safety & viability of all new types of windpowered craft. Overseas events Our policy covers an organised event by the officers of the CLSC outside of the UK anywhere in the world. The Officers of the CLSC must provide details of the organised event to the insurance company for permissions. Individual CLSC members are not covered under the policy if outside the UK Disciplinary action Antisocial behavior towards other members of the club, the general public and council/park rangers will not be tolerated. Club members who ignore the rules, damage club property, or endanger the safety of other club members and beach users, will be subject to disciplinary action and face having their membership revoked. The Club or Council may expel any member deemed to have brought the Club into disrepute, by majority vote, at a meeting of all members convened at 28 day’s notice. The expelled member may re-apply for membership & the democratic process will prevail, subject to ratification by the Council. 6 Lapsed memberships CLSC Membership runs from 1st January and expires on 31st December. If your membership has expired, and you have not received your Club Membership documents for the new year, you cannot sail on the Club agreed sailing venues. Any lapsed member sailing on any of the agreed sailing venues without having current membership may have disciplinary action taken against them. If they continue to sail without current membership, further disciplinary action will be taken that may result in their application for membership or future memberships being revoked.

    ' Spring 1992 S1.50. ,• • .. • • • • Keys/one State's OfficialBoating Magiene • Viewpoint On December 12, 1992, House Bill 1107 was signed into law. Boat registration fees were increased for the first time in nearly 30 years and the name of the Commission was changed to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. By changing the name of the Commission to the Fish and Boat Commission, the Legislature recognized the importance of boating to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Whether you fish, water ski or cruise, your boat has become an important part of your recreational experience. Each year over 2.5 million people go boating. Only swimming, hiking, biking and fishing had greater participation levels. In 1963, the year the Commission was officially given authority over the Pennsyl- vania boating program, only 78,000 boats were registered. Since then, boating has grown steadily. Today over 302,000 boats bear Pennsylvania registrations. To accommodate this growth, additional launching facilities had to be provided. New laws and regulations had to be written. Methods to provide additional law enforce- ment had to be found to maintain control over the use of the water. Boating safety education programs had to be developed so that the great number of people new to boating could learn the rules of safety and courtesy. During the development years of the boating program, expansion of the registra- tion base and additional revenue sources, such as the return of the tax paid on fuel used in boats, Projects 500 and 70, Federal Aid for Fish Restoration and the U. S. Coast Guard boating safety assistance programs, all helped defray the costs associ- ated with the increased services.

  • The California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 As Amended
    the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as amended U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Desert District Riverside, California the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as Amended IN REPLY REFER TO United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT STATE OFFICE Federal Office Building 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, California 95825 Dear Reader: Thank you.You and many other interested citizens like you have made this California Desert Conservation Area Plan. It was conceived of your interests and concerns, born into law through your elected representatives, molded by your direct personal involvement, matured and refined through public conflict, interaction, and compromise, and completed as a result of your review, comment and advice. It is a good plan. You have reason to be proud. Perhaps, as individuals, we may say, “This is not exactly the plan I would like,” but together we can say, “This is a plan we can agree on, it is fair, and it is possible.” This is the most important part of all, because this Plan is only a beginning. A plan is a piece of paper-what counts is what happens on the ground. The California Desert Plan encompasses a tremendous area and many different resources and uses. The decisions in the Plan are major and important, but they are only general guides to site—specific actions. The job ahead of us now involves three tasks: —Site-specific plans, such as grazing allotment management plans or vehicle route designation; —On-the-ground actions, such as granting mineral leases, developing water sources for wildlife, building fences for livestock pastures or for protecting petroglyphs; and —Keeping people informed of and involved in putting the Plan to work on the ground, and in changing the Plan to meet future needs.
