Incentives update
Following our recent committee meeting and in unanimous agreement on the centre needing to reduce outgoing expenditure due to the continued yearly shortfall(s) it has been agreed the rally incentive rewards for rallies attended and first time ralliers will no longer receive a monetary incentive voucher.
Rally attendance and milestones will still be recorded and recognised at AGM but without monetary reward.
We thank you in advance for understanding and your continued support with your centre
Thanks

Notice of motion
Notice of Motion Received 16.08.2024
The following motion is proposed by David Barber for discussion at the 63rd AGM of The Derbyshire Centre to be held at 14:00 Saturday 21st September 2024.
The issue concerning dogs being allowed or not into formal socials has been discussed informally on rally fields by several members.
To give members and opportunity to formally vote on this issue, the following is proposed;
Dogs are not permitted into socials within fixed halls or large marquees (eg Chairmans Rally, Celebratory Rallies)
Typically these socials will have loud music, lots of people moving around, possibly food served. Concerns are that this is not a suitable environment for numerous dogs.
The exception would be for officially recognised support dogs.
For small informal gatherings on a rally field, the marshals discretion would remain in place.
Proposed By: David Barber
Seconded By: Sharon Gascoyne

Rally Plaques Update
Following on from a suggestion made via the Suggestions Form on our Website to the committee regarding plaques, we have agreed to give members and visitors the option to opt in or out of receiving a Rally Plaque.
Due to minimum order quantities and rally pricing currently there is NO Discount if you choose not to receive one.
As most of the 2023 rally programmes have already gone live and bookings made we have only added this option to rallies with no marshals or no current bookings and we can review it after the 2024 rally programme has gone live.
Extra Extra.... Blog All About It!!

The purpose of this blog is to create a more engaging website for our centre. Along with using our website to book rallies, find more information about our centre and services, a blog section helps to keep our members informed about topics that are relevant to our rallies and centre.
