NOTICE FOR ALL SUFFOLK CENTRE MEMBERS AGM MEETING 2020   Following consultation with the Club the Committee has taken the decision that for 2020 the AGM meeting will have to change in the way that it is operated.  This will now be run as a closed meeting – Centre and Club members will not be able to attend.  This does not mean that members will not be able to take part and have their say. Members will have differing views on this course of action, which we appreciate, but times are not normal and we feel in this way all our Centre members will have the opportunity to be involved and remain safe, not just those who may have attended a face to face meeting.   The following will now apply: DATE AND PARTICIPANTS OF AGM As Trinity Park is unable to host our AGM due to current restrictions, and subsequently the rally, our AGM meeting will now be held onSunday 18th October at which those...

Dear all After the Government’s announcement that new legislation will come into effect on Monday 14 September limiting social gatherings to six people, the general Rule of Six principle is that if you are operating in accordance with current Covid-secure guidance (as rallies are) you will be able to continue doing as you are currently, provided that individual groups obey the Rule of Six. Scotland have followed suit with this legislation, and Wales have since announced that the Rule of Six will apply indoors. It is really important that all aspects of the rally follow the Covid secure guidance previously issued. There should still be no social gatherings on the rally, however groups of up to six may mix (this does not apply to individual households or support bubbles of more than six, who will still be able to gather together). The Rally Officer/Marshal must continue to collect data for NHS Test and Trace purposes. Please ensure that you have a copy of the...
