Dear Club Secretary,

 

Those of you who were at the South Eastern Centre Annual General Meeting last Wednesday will have heard about the new 'fixed penalty' notice being introduced from 1st February 2006.

 

So it is clear to all, I was asked to inform all South Eastern Centre clubs - hopefully clearly and unambiguously - so here goes.

 

At every event held under a Permit issued by the South Eastern Centre, a form (titled "Event Return") has to be completed with the numbers of competitors who have started the competition, listed in various categories.

If there is an ACU Steward at the event, the form is agreed and signed by that Steward and the Secretary of Meeting.

The form must be sent to Ken Piles, the Permits Secretary, whose address is printed on the form, WITHIN 7 DAYS after the date of the event.  Failure to do so will incur a penalty of £10 per day thereafter.

 

Ken Piles calculates the insurance and other fees and sends an invoice to the Club (normally the Secretary of Meeting, but he will send to the Club Secretary or Treasurer on request).

A cheque for payment must be sent to Ken Piles WITHIN 7 DAYS after receiving the invoice.  Failure to do so will incur a penalty of £10 per day thereafter.

 

All penalty payments will be donated in full to the ACU Benevolent Fund at the earliest opportunity.

If there are any problems - the dog has eaten the form; the Treasurer has run off with the cheque book; etc. - you must let Ken know straight away.  His phone number is 01732 847127.

Please tell people in your club who need to know about these time limits and penalties. 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Peter Burrell

SE Centre Secretary
