| Rally preparations | ||
| The organising of thr 2006 Rally is well under way, albeit with a few problems. The Committee has attended a health and safety course and had a risk assessment done in conjunction with WHS health and safety practitioneers. The results were largely in line with previous years requirements although a nunber of thing needed altering slightly. It has been decided that no horses or horse-drawn vehicles will allowed in the tented area of the site, only in the working area. All working exhibits will be behind orange safety netting or wire netting rather than ropes, and the public will no longer be able to mingle with working tractors in the working area. There are many other small detailed points which we hope will not spoil your enjoyment of the Rally, after all , we run the rally for your and our enjoyment. Hope to see you there !! |
