The main points involved in holding rallies in England in the current situation and for the foreseeable future are explained here. Different guidelines and dates are applicable in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, and they are not covered here. Any change to guidelines or law announced by Government or the Caravan & Motorhome Club override the information in this Rally Book. Changes will be communicated to members and these guidelines will be updated and re-published when necessary. • Rallies are permitted to take place from the start of Step 2, expected to be from 12th April 2021. During Step 2, rallies are on a ‘campsite only’ basis. There can be no social activities at a rally; none will be arranged by Rally Officers, either indoors or outdoors. There will not be Flagpole meetings. Ralliers should not erect awnings or tents for the purpose of socialising. • During Step 3 (starting no earlier than 17th May 2021), there can be social events for a maximum of 30 people outdoors. So social events and Flagpole meetings will be introduced as the guidelines and circumstances allow. The Rule of Six applies to indoor meetings and two households are permitted to meet on that basis – an outfit represents one household. • During Step 4 (starting no earlier than 21st June 2021), there are no longer any restrictions on social gatherings at rallies. There may still be Covid-Secure Protocols – further information is expected to be available nearer the time. • All members must comply with the Government’s guidance at the time regarding social contact and group size for meeting outdoors and indoors. • A rally is not permitted if Lockdown is in force in the area where a rally is to be held. Members who live in Lockdown areas may not travel to any rally. Up to now, the Club has been following the approach of allowing rallies during the periods when the majority of Club sites can be open. With the Tier system that was in place during autumn 2020, rallies and travel were permitted in Tier1 and Tier 2 areas, but not in Tier3 or higher. • Please book rallies as normal using the Centre website. The Committee appreciates that members may be apprehensive to commit to attending a rally, but without bookings in the few weeks approaching a rally, we cannot gauge the level of interest. The Committee is reviewing the viability of rallies at its meeting each month; rallies with too few bookings to be viable may well be cancelled. • In the run-up to a rally, the Rally Officer will be in contact by email with all who have booked to provide guidance on the rally and to request payment of fees. Payment can be by cheque (made payable to “Berkshire Centre Caravan Club” and posted to the Rally Officer) or by online banking (using the bank account details that the Rally Officer will provide). • Cancellations in advance of the rally for any reason are acceptable in the current situation. Please contact the Rally Officer to cancel. The scheme of charging fees for late cancellation is suspended until further notice and a full refund will be made 3 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 3 for all amounts that have been paid in advance. Non-arrivals (that is without making contact with the Rally Officer before the rally) may still be charged. • In advance of each rally, the Committee and Rally Officers are undertaking Covid- related Health & Safety risk assessments, and they are being forwarded to the Club for the record. • Rally signage will be arranged as normal unless notified otherwise. • Pitching on rallies will leave as much space as possible between outfits, complying with the minimum spacing requirements of 6m between facing walls and 3m clear space around each unit. • The water supply and elsan at each rally will have a supply of hand sanitiser, supplied either by the site owner or the Centre. • For the foreseeable future, rally plaques will be provided to members after the rally. Plaque orders are being arranged in batches and are being co-ordinated by Marie Woodward. • Ralliers are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Government Covid guidelines that are in place at the location and time of the rally – in particular social distancing and numbers in gatherings. For the purposes of counting numbers, each outfit is a household (allowing for bubble arrangements). Rally Officers and Committee members are not responsible for policing observance of the Government Covid guidelines. Committee Meeting Dates for 2021 Committee meetings are being held online using Zoom and are expected to be on the following Monday evenings. The Committee may vary these dates or hold additional meetings as necessary to fit with handling the Covid situation. 11 January 8 February 8 March 12 April 10 May 7 June 12 July 9 August 20 September 11 October 8 November 13 December Items that members wish to raise with the Committee should be in writing (email or post) and addressed to the Centre Secretary. Thank you. Notices The points here explain the reasoning around items in this Rally Programme and present some necessary information that is normally scattered through the book in a single place to help with maintaining the rally programme as we go through 2021. Guide to Rallying booklet The Berkshire Centre’s Guide to Rallying booklet provides additional information about how the Centre is run. Copies can be downloaded from the Centre’s website or are available from the Secretary. Advertisers This year’s Centre Programme does not contain the same amount of advertising as usual. With the Covid-19 situation, the recognised position that businesses in general have priorities to remain solvent, no Committee members being willing to undertake the 4 www.berkshirecentrecaravanclub.co.uk 4 Publicity Officer role, and the somewhat temporary and fluid nature of this Rally Programme book, the Committee felt that it was not viable to try to secure advertising. Changes to the Centre Programme This Centre Programme contains as much information as is available at the time of going to print. As the rallying year continues and Rally Officers put together their organisation for rallies, it may be necessary to add, remove or amend any event at a rally. In particular this year, there may be changes due to the ongoing situation with Covid-19. It may be necessary for the Committee to amend the programme as circumstances dictate. Updates are generally notified through monthly updates from Committee and on the website and Facebook posts. We ask members to show understanding where alterations occur. Book-By Date All rallies show a “book by” date. This is the date when the Committee will review if a rally is viable for the numbers booked and can cancel it if necessary. Please book early to avoid disappointment. Site Fees Site fees are correct at the time of printing, and all are per night unless stated otherwise. The fees reflect the agreements between the Rally Secretary and the site owners. Occasionally, changes are then made by site owners. Where the site fee is shown as being inclusive of VAT, this has been applied at the current rate of 20%. Some site fees are shown as “Depends on Numbers”, indicating there is a fixed fee for hire of the venue, and the Rally Officers & Committee will set the site fee after the Book By date. Disclaimer Readers should note that neither The Caravan and Motorhome Club nor the Berkshire Centre can accept responsibility for the quality, safe delivery, satisfactory operation or effectiveness of any product or service advertised or mentioned in this publication. Exercising Dogs Dogs must be exercised in accordance with guidelines at the site or venue. Dog waste must be removed from all rally fields (including agricultural fields that may contain animal waste) and be disposed of by members as per their normal domestic circumstances. PLEASE DO NOT EXERCISE DOGS WITHIN SCHOOL GROUNDS. The Rally Secretary has negotiated to allow dogs on rallies at school sites. Please don’t jeopardise this privilege for future rallies.

  • Email Exchanges Between Wokingham Borough Council And
    From: Sent: 27 March 2020 11:36 To: [email protected] Subject: GE202003362 - ONR resposne to Wokingham Borough Council Local plan Update Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Completed Dear Sir/Madam, In response to your emails dated 3 February and 18 March regarding the 2020 Wokingham Borough Local Plan Update consultation, please find below ONR’s response, which is provided in line with our Land Use Planning policy published here http://www.onr.org.uk/land-use-planning.htm. Since ONR responded to the previous draft Local Plan Update consultation on 21 January 2019 (see email below) the proposed development locations included in the draft local plan have significantly changed. Additionally, the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone (DEPZ) for the AWE Burghfield site has been re-determined by West Berkshire District Council under the Radiation (Emergency Preparedness and Public Information) Regulations (REPPIR) 2019 resulting in a larger DEPZ. ONR’s current position remains that we would be likely to object to: • developments within the DEPZ, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. • large scale developments within the circular 5km Outer Consultation Zone (OCZ), which extends beyond the DEPZ from grid reference SU684680, unless the West Berkshire District Council emergency planner provides adequate assurance to ONR that any adverse impact on the operability and viability of the off-site emergency plan could be mitigated. ONR has previously responded regarding the two development locations below which are included in both the 2018/19 Local Plan Update consultation and the 2020 Local Plan Update consultation: 1.

  • Slough Local Development Framework
    Slough Local Development Framework Annual Monitoring Report 2018/2019 Annual Monitoring Report (AMR) 2018/19 Planning Policy & Projects Slough Borough Council 25 Observatory House, Windsor Road, Slough SL1 2EL Tel: 01753 477341/ 875820/ 875863 Email: [email protected] [Blank Page] 2 Executive Summary This executive summary highlights the main issues in the report and a broad overview. This is the thirteenth Annual Monitoring Report (AMR). The report presents key facts and figures and identifies type and quantities of development which took place between 1 April 2018 – 31 March 2019 although in some cases more recent information has been made available and is included. The AMR examines how successful Slough’s current planning policies have been in terms of achieving their objectives. It provides a feedback mechanism to ensure that effective operation of policies or highlight areas that need revising. The AMR analyses the performance of the Saved Local Plan Policies for Slough and the adopted Core Strategy policies against the indicators. Future AMR’s will monitor the new Local Plan once adopted. The Localism Act removed the requirement for local planning authorities to produce an annual monitoring report for Government, while retaining the overall duty to monitor and produce reports for the local community. In this AMR we have decided to monitor the indicators that are specific to Slough, interesting for Members and the local community. Previous copies of the AMR and the commitment documents are available at www.slough.gov.uk. Headlines for 2018/19: Housing Delivery- 534 (net) residential units were completed in the period from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019.

  • Is It Just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-Goers and Their Experience at UK Music Festivals
    Is it just the Music? Towards an Understanding of Festival-goers and their Experience at UK Music Festivals by Alyssa Eve Brown PGCert, BA (Hons), FHEA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire April 2019 i STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered for the research degree, I was with the University’s specific permission, an enrolled student for the following awards: Post Graduate Certificate in Business and Management Research Methods Post Graduate Certificate in Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work Signature of Candidate ______________________________________________________ Type of Award PhD__________________________________________________ School Lancashire School of Business and Enterprise ii Abstract Festivals are an adventure of the emotional and physical senses and can create unforgettable, exciting and thrilling memories of unfamiliar and unique experiences. With music festivals in particular, there is an additional emphasis on the chance to experience live music by often idolised musicians within a temporary community of shared musical interests. However, whilst a music festival may attract visitors through advertising an attractive and appealing line-up of popular acts, this far from guarantees a happy customer. There are many other elements that contribute to and impact upon the experience of the festival-goer (Morgan, 2008: 83). If these elements are managed well, this can result in benefits for both the consumer, through positive emotional and cognitive experiences, and for the organisation through repeat custom, recommendations and increased sales.

  • Lowland Mosaic
    15. LANDSCAPE TYPE 8: LOWLAND MOSAIC Location and Boundaries 15.1. The landscape type comprises a lowland area in the eastern part of the AONB intervening between the two main chalk upland blocks to the north and south and lying to either side of the Kennet Valley (7A). The boundaries are essentially defined by geology with the change from the chalk to the Tertiary deposits of the Reading Beds, the Bagshot Beds and London Clay. In the north the chalk descends as a gradual dipslope (2A: Brightwalton Downs & 2B: Ashampstead Downs), while to the south it rises as a dramatic escarpment (2D: Walbury Hill - Watership Downs Scarp). The geological transition within this landscape type is clearly marked by the lower topography and the land cover of woodland and pasture. Overview The lowland mosaic is a distinct landscape in the eastern part of the North Wessex Downs occupying the low lying basin of gravel beds and clays which rise either side of the Kennet Valley. The area has a strong woodland character, with its origins as part of the medieval forests. In the early 17th century the forests were subject to gradual piecemeal enclosure, the legacy of which is reflected in numerous dispersed small settlements and farms. Today the area is characterised by irregular fields, cut out from the woodland during the medieval or post medieval period, interspersed with parcels of woodland and commons. Although in some areas, a more open landscape dominated by large-scale arable farmland is found. One of the most densely inhabited parts of the North Wessex Downs, this lowland area has a diverse range of settlements ranging from large manor houses associated with the many parklands to the network of hamlets, lines of houses and villages that occur along the lanes and roads.

    Notice of variation and consolidation with introductory note The Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 Veolia ES West Berkshire Limited Padworth Integrated Waste Management Facility Padworth Sidings Padworth Lane Lower Padworth West Berkshire RG7 4HY Variation application number EPR/KP3694VW/V002 Permit number EPR/KP3694VW Padworth Integrated Waste Management Facility Permit number EPR/KP3694VW Introductory note This introductory note does not form a part of the notice. Under the Environmental Permitting (England & Wales) Regulations 2010 (schedule 5, part 1, paragraph 19) a variation may comprise a consolidated permit reflecting the variations and a notice specifying the variations included in that consolidated permit. Schedule 1 of the notice specifies the conditions that have been varied and schedule 2 comprises a consolidated permit which reflects the variations being made.
