DUE TO THE INCREASED LEVEL OF HOVERCRAFT OPERATING AT SETLEY POND, THE ADDITIONAL DANGERS THESE CRAFT POSE AND FOLLOWING POSSIBLE COMPLAINTS FROM LOCAL RESIDENTS ABOUT NOISE LEVELS ETC. ETC. THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL CLUB RULES HAVE BEEN ISSUED. |
| 1. |
Hovercraft can only be launched and recovered from the main launching/recovery beach adjacent to the parking area. All other operating is to be done from the small beach to the right hand side of the lake. The operator of the hovercraft is to base himself in the small beach area and all further operating carried out from this beach. |
| 2. |
Speed is to be kept to "DEAD SLOW" until past the No 6 Buoy |
| 3. |
If the Hovercraft comes close to any other model it is to be put to the hover or dropped to the water and thrust motor stopped until the other boat has passed clear. |
| 4. |
Hovercraft are not to be operated along the main beach at any time. |
| 5. |
In order to comply with our Forestry Commission Permit and to keep noise levels to a minimum ONLY ONE HOVERCRAFT IS TO BE OPERATED AT ANY TIME. |
| 6. |
Members operating hovercraft must be able to ensure the committee that the craft are safe and comply with the operating standards with respect to correct skirt construction, correct bag pressure as well as correct settings used for land and water use (which are different). |
| 7. |
Members wishing to operate these craft increase the personal injury risk to other members and the general public at the lake and failure to operate to the above rules may result in an increase in the club insurance premium. |
| 8. |
It is recommended that any member wishing to operate these craft should consider membership of the Model Hovercraft Association. |
| 9. |
The Committee and Members request that these craft are operated well clear of other models to avoid the need to have a separate operating day for model hovercraft. |
| 10. |
PLEASE NOTE THAT FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES COULD RESULT IN THE CLUB LOSING USE OF THE LAKE. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU COMPLY ! |
