AUGUST 2020 NEWSLETTER

CHAIRMAN'S WELCOME

Hello everyone, here we go again with another newsletter. As I write this thesun is shining brightly and I'm just enjoying a cold beer and happy to reportthat with the relaxation of the Covid regulations we have a busy monthahead. We have had two successful car runs so far and although the tractorrun was postponed to July 12th because of a poor weather forecast a greatturn out of 26 machines enjoyed great conditions on that day. This run was inmemory of John Le Seelleur and I would like to thank all those attending fortheir generous donations. It was also great to see a good gathering at JerseyPearl for the coffee morning.At this time the Summer Flower Show at the RJA Showground is going ahead and the planned static displayby the club on Sunday 23rd August could be the only chance we get to display our vehicles this year, so pleasemake the effort to attend the show to show off your pride and joy. All types of vehicle welcome. We arecurrently waiting for further information regarding the Samares Manor Show, so please keep up with viewingyour emails for the latest updates. Finally I would like to remind all members to adhere to government guidelines regarding social distancingwhilst we are able to enjoy our gatherings during this world wide pandemic.

Cheers for now Tim

Although Jersey is still at Level 2 we are able to begin to enjoy some group events again as long as we arecareful, please keep alert and a metre apart. I did think we would be in Level One by this month butGovernment is being cautious which is probably a good thing.

EVENING RUN - SATURDAY JULY 11 th 2020I am sure everyone enjoyed this run, rounded off with a meal wherever we chose to eat. Thank you to Ossiefor once again leading us in style.

TRACTOR RUN – SUNDAY 12 th JULYThis was the first run of the year which had been postponed the previous week due to weather conditions.Although the sun was shining brightly there was an air of sadness as we remembered fellow Club member andkeen tractor boy, John Le Seelleur, who had lost his young life so tragically in an accident at the end of May. Aminute’s silence was held for John and a collection was made in his memory to donate to the RNLI JerseyGuild which totalled £212.Starting from the New North Road car park the 26 participants headed eastwards passing Fremont, along LesPlatons and continued through tranquil lanes, mostly around Trinity, before finally finishing the 10 mile run atJardin d’Olivet.

GUERNSEY WEST SHOW AUGUST 19 th and 20 th 2020 – CANCELLEDThe Committee of the West United Agricultural and Horticultural Society are very disappointed that they areunable to hold the Show this year but due to Covid-19 it is a decision that was inevitable. The safety of thepublic is their main priority and this is the appropriate course of action to support what has been achieved bythe Civil Contingencies Authority in reducing the active cases within the Bailiwick to zero. Well Done to Guernsey for maintaining this achievement!The dates for the 2021 show will be Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th August.

RJA & HS SUMMER FLOWER SHOW – SUNDAY AUGUST 23 rd - 11am to 5pm

The RJA & HS are very hopeful that the August flower show can go ahead but with strict guidelines that mustbe followed. It will be staged and held to respect the social distancing regulations that are still in place withregards to Covid-19. Club Members will be allowed to visit the show free of charge on production of theircurrent JCVC membership card. You will be asked to follow a one way system to view the show and only acertain number of people will be allowed in the hall at a time. Please be patient and follow the instructions.However, any decision made will be subject to Government Guidelines at the time of the Show.

If it has to be cancelled it will be and they wish this to be made clear to everyone.

The RJA & HS toilets are located in the main entrance and it would be better to ensure you use the facilitiesbefore entering the Main Hall but if you need to use the toilets once you have exited the New Arena, you cango through the Members room back into the main entrance. Also, if you feel that you have not seen all youwant to, you can go around the one way system again. The cake auction that normally takes place after theshow will not be happening. However, there is a possibility that the cakes can be sold on Sunday afternoon tothe public. There will be prices on each cake and the purchaser will put their money into a tin located near the

cakes and will be able to collect their cakes on the Sunday afternoon. This will be confirmed nearer the time.

The RJA & HS Committee would definitely like the Jersey Classic Vehicle Club to attend the Show and askthat you arrive with your vehicle by 10.30am and leave at the end of the Show at 5pm' not before. I thank youin advance for your co-operation in this.

SUNDAY MEETING – AUGUST 30 th – 10.30amFor the time being we shall be meeting in St Clement's Parish Hall car park. There are toilets in the public carpark and coffee/tea/bacon rolls can be bought from the mobile van across the road. Let us hope by the end ofSeptember restrictions will be lifted far enough in order that we can resume going inside the Hall.

SAMARES COUNTRY FAIR - AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY – MONDAY AUGUST 31 st Although the Club is normally invited to this event, there is some uncertainty this year. The Manor currentlyhasn't been granted an event licence to go ahead. They may have a cap on numbers for the day so it wouldmean a limited number of people on site. As soon as they know for certain they will let us know. For the timebeing they can't confirm either way if we can attend the Fair. SATURDAY 12 th SEPTEMBER – PALLOT STEAM THRASHING FAYRE – CANCELLED

ST. JOHN'S FELLOWSHIP RUN AND LUNCH – SEPTEMBER 20 th - CANCELLEDTrevor Bayliss regrets the decision but due to the uncertainty of the Covid-19 restrictions at the time of theevent he feels there is no other option.

I am sure I don't need to remind you all to stay safe and well, we have nearly reached Level One but evenwhen we reach that Level we will still need to be very careful.
