Latest News

Hi everyone sorry its been so long posting.

Dear Members, It looks like there may be some good news soon.

After reading a post on our whats app group earlier today i decided to phone Pembrey circuit and i managed to speak to Phil the Manager there.

I explained whom i was and asked if he had heared any correspondance from the BARC with regards to opening the Pembrey Racing Circuit Venue in the near future.

He explained that circuits in England had allready reopened and that it was actually down to his discretion as to when to open their venue with the current situation with Goverment rules that came into place on Friday 29th May and the covid-19 crisis. What he explained was that there will be an announcement this coming week as to what will be happening at Pembrey but this would primarily be notification to professional athletes/racing drivers and racing teams, what he did say also to myself was that if we LMFC were to send him an E-mail with regards to what measures would be put in place to ensure that we comply with the covid-19 and goverment rules ie a full risk assesment and full cooperation with regards to social distancing would need to be implace, then he could have a discussion with his team as to whether or not this would be achievable and hopefully allow us to use the facility to carry on flying.

What i think we should do as a club is to leave the cabin locked during these times as a health and safety pecaution and to bring our own chairs and drinks etc. No signs to be put up either to ensure no cross contamination.

If this is stipulated in a risk assesment or anything else that we put forward to Phil he will want it strictly adhered to and no doubt would be checking that all measures are in place at all times, pending his approval or the risk assessment it will be modified to include any of his suggestions as he says he wants to discuss our risk assessment with his team.

So hopefully an E-mail will be sent out shortly and fingers crossed some good news will come from it.

Please read the following note as it is Important

thanks 

Christian Anderson (LMFC Secretary)

NOTE:

The changes to the regulations will come into force on Monday and include:

• Allowing members of 2 separate households in the same local area to meet outdoors at any one time as long as they maintain social distancing. There is a low risk of infection if the 2 metre physical distancing rule is maintained while outdoors. This does not need to be the same people from the same household every time. ‘Local’ means not travelling more than 5 miles from home
• The 2 households can meet in private outdoor spaces, such as gardens, but this comes with a higher risk of infection as people may have to pass through someone’s private home to reach a garden. The Welsh Government will provide guidance about the precautions which can be taken to minimise these risks

The changes mean people can meet another household outdoors in their local area but all the other rules to protect people from coronavirus will stay in place for the time being.

Meeting outdoors is key as the science tells us the virus survives only for minutes outside but for hours on indoor surfaces.

The changes follow the third statutory review of the regulations by Welsh Ministers. The review is based on the latest scientific evidence from SAGE and the advice of the Chief Medical Officer for Wales.

Wales has passed the first peak of infection and rates are falling but the R rate remains at 0.8. Both SAGE and the World Health Organisation has advised changes should only be made one step at a time.
