[SEL] [Fwd: Letter to the editor - Open letter to NHMA regarding fences]

[Paul Pavlinovich]

I have sent this into TOMM since letters to the NHMA are ignored (at 
least mine are) - lets see what happens... if nothing else it should 
fill up TOMM's letter pages for a couple of issues :)

At the National Rally a representative from the NHMA's insurer was
present to answer questions. One of the frequently asked questions was
about the fences. My understanding is that the insurer's response was
that a two rope fence was sufficient and all that was required by the
policy.

How about it NHMA? Lets have an update to the guidelines to remove the
fences and replace with ropes. We need clarification.

Rope fences are considered safe enough even in litigious USA so they
should be safe enough for us.

Rope fences mean less hassle for clubs, particularly the property
officer. Easier to transport, set up, use and pack away.

Rope fences are much better for photographs (especially when compared to
safety orange council fencing some clubs have gone for).
