I agree to adhere to the rules & regulations of the campsite and to keep dogs on a lead whilst on the camping field or take-off field. I will report any damage to the meet organiser.

The Club regrets that, due to unacceptable lack of control of and cleaning up after some animals at previous meets, any non-compliance with these perfectly reasonable conditions will result in a person or persons initially being warned and subsequently asked to leave the event. Exclusion of the person(s) from future Club meets is likely.

Other notes:
Socials; Competitions; etc.		 Competition:– launch at daylight Sunday Morning, usual rules, the Balloon which flies furthest and returns to the launch field complete with equipment and crew by 08:30 hrs, (same day), is the winner.

Landowners:–

A 'thank you' bottle for farmers, labelled with your details. A label design has been formulated and a limited number will be available at the meet. But bottles won't! – so please bring some!

NB: Landing details will still be required for Admin and H&S reasons.

Social:–

Please feel free to bring a chair and knock on a caravan/tent where you see or hear a social gathering. If all quiet and still early then many will be inside the pub "Edisford Bridge', located at the entrance to the campsite. The food here is excellent and it gets very busy at peak times, so booking a table is recommended.
Accommodation: Camping is available on site, price as on the entry form. Camping is at the top end of the rally field, NOT the Caravan site.
