5. Forms
We all dislike having to fill out forms but we need to ensure that we are covered for the events we do and have taken into account any problems that may arise. Forms in this pack are:
a. Emergency Contact / Health Form (Purple Form)
(In case we need to contact you or apply first aid we need to know of any medical conditions).
b. Gift Aid Form.
(This means that we can claim tax back from the Government - 20 pence for every 80pence of subs, camp fees).
c. Latest Term Permission Form.
(This gives us the permission to run all on and offsite events for that term with your consent).
6. Dropping off and picking up your child
a. When you drop off your child please accompany them into the annex of the hall DO NOT drop them off from the car and drive off.
b. When you pick up your child please come into the annex of the hall and they will come to you once they’ve been dismissed.
7. Taking Part
a. The section leader will ask you to volunteer to help for at least one evening during the term – or if this is not possible agree to do one voluntary role during the term.
b. If you think you’d like to help but are not sure what you could do please ask one of the leaders as there are plenty of things to do outside of the meetings. Things such as
dedicating time to set up fund raising events, publicising 5th Rayleigh, DIY jobs, helping in the development of our HQ (legal, admin), quartermaster, helping at camp are to name but a few.
8. Camps
