First of all: my apologies for such a long post
Second: Although this may seem a bit OTT it's here to try to make you and yours feel a bit more secure; where you are, that you/they can be contacted inthe unlikely event of an emergency etc. As with the previous Meet I'll PM my mobile number to those attending closer to the date - but only if they request it (by PM or post)
From Post #63 (modified using Post# 116) of the previous thread:

I've not been to a meet before and as far as I'm aware I don't really know any of the any of the members of this forum. I thought it'd be everyone’s best interest if I put in place some kind of guidance as to what I think would be in the best interest for a group of strangers who are getting together for a weekend.
Rules and Responsibilities:
Although I’m doing a bit of admin that’s where my responsibilities end.
An individual's thoughts, beliefs, sense of humour etc. are just that - individual. My thought on this matter is that if anyone says or does something to upset someone else that person should have the freedom to say so (and that it should be said in a polite manner) openly and without the fear of recrimination or ostracism. Once something has been said, it's been said; so let the subject lie and leave it alone.
1. You are responsible for yourself, your kit and your food (before, during and after the Meet). You are also responsible for getting, safely, to and from the Meet.
2. Although I’m willing to collect together the camping/visitor fees and pay the site, you are responsible for bringing the money and giving it to me (and those of any dependant with you).
3. Prior to arrival you should know how to safely use the kit you’re going to use.
4. Don’t borrow anyone else’s kit without asking first. If they say no then respect that answer. If they say yes take note of any and all instruction they give on its use.
5. If you need to borrow kit for the Meet free to ask on this thread. If you do borrow something it becomes your responsibility, it should go back to the owner as clean and tidy (and working!) as possible.
6. If you damage someone else’s kit you should be prepared to make reparations (borrowed or not!).
7. Respect the site and its other users. Please keep any bad language to an absolute minimum and quiet – it might hurt but the people the other side of the bushes usually don’t want or need to know.
8. Don’t use sharp/heavy/burny etc stuff if you’re feeling tired or unwell.
9. The ability to do emergency runs to A&E is important so if alcohol is consumed please ensure that at least two drivers are sober (I can’t drink OR drive).
10. You are responsible for both bringing any prescribed medication you need and taking it.
11. I’ll put out a health form to all those who confirm that they’re coming to the meet. This will need to be filled in and put in a sealed envelop (with your name written clearly on it) then given to me when you arrive (this way the contents will remain absolutely confidential - unless you have a serious incident). This form will require emergency home contact details and phone number(s) – preferably next-of-kin, don’t panic!!! In the highly unlikely event of you requiring serious medical attention the easy availability of this information would mean that the medical authorities don’t have to find out who they need to get permission from and then track them down
12. If you have an on going medical condition that people around you may need to know about please tell us (either in this thread or at the Meet). E.g. I have Epilepsy which becomes a problem when I’m tired – this shouldn’t cause any great problem at the Meet but complying with #7 could be problematic to someone who has tourettes (sp??)
13. You are responsible for your own actions (and those of any dependants with you) - if it’s not on this list it doesn’t automatically mean that it’s ok to do it!
14. If you think that someone's doing something unsafe then tell them (politely).
