Other facilities and warnings

Fresh milk and bread
The local milkman drops in over the weekend, and has a slow cruise around the site, he gives
us no times! so if you see him and want something, give him a wave!

Club Membership and Merchandise
Fancy joining CVWOC?, membership packs available over the weekend, along with plenty of
club goodies!

Lighting towers
So no one gets left in the dark, Please be aware that all lighting towers are switched off
around midnight (to cut down on light and noise pollution in the neighbouring villages) So
ensure you have a torch to hand if you are a devout ‘townie’ used to it never being dark!

Child Safe
The CVWOC wants to help you as a parent or guardian to ensure your child is safe. We
know they can be a handful and one blink and they have run off!
This year we are providing a Child Safe wristband service. Bring your child along to the
Jamboree HQ and we will provide an Orange wristband with a unique number on it.
This number will be recorded along with your details (mobile phone number), should your
child wander off and a member of the security, committee or public find them they can be
brought along to the Jamboree HQ and the parent / guardian contacted using the corresponding contact details recorded against the wristband number. The bands are worn for Child / Parent identification.

Cruise
Some of you may remember the epic cruises we have run over the past Jamboree weekends, due to the
sheer scale of these events the long arm of the law has asked us to cease.
However there is nothing stopping you going out and enjoying the great Cornish coast. A cruise route
map and easy to read directions are available from HQ with a picturesque circular route going along
the north coast beaches of Portreath, Godreavy, Gwithian and returning along the A30.

Supermarket
Asda is located on the outskirts of Penryn a 10 minute drive from the showground.
The supermarket also has a garage .

Nearest Fuel
The IMP garage is located 2 minutes away, it provides the cheapest petrol in the area although opening hours can be somewhat surprising if you are used to 24ht service stations..

Fresh Meat
John Dower a local butcher will be on site at various times over the weekend, he can provide
fresh sausages etc. Please listen out for an announcement over the PA system regarding
timings.

Can we make the Jamboree any better?
The Jamboree is always evolving, getting bigger every year, we try to hold on to the
Jamboree traditions that everyone enjoys. There is always room for improvement and as a
committee looking out we can’t always see it. With your suggestions we can improve our
show for the better, please feel free to contact us with any suggextions for the next event.

GAS SAFETY REMINDER
The majority of us carry some form of LPG, whether its used to boil the kettle, fuel the BBQ or keep
us warm during the cool evenings. Here are a few pointers in the safe use of LPG

What Happens Inside the Cylinder
Gas cylinders are specifically manufactured to store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG for short) in its liquid state.
The liquid turns to gas very easily and the gas fills the space above the liquid. As gas is drawn off in use, more liquid turns to gas to replace it. An external regulator connected to the supply line between the cylinder and appliance keeps the pressure of the gas constant to the appliance as the cylinder empties until there is no liquid left to turn to gas.

The Regulator
Except for appliances fitted with a flow controller, a suitably rated regulator must be included in the connection between the cylinder and the appliance. The regulator is precisely set to control the pressure of the supply and Must Not Be Adjusted. Replace any regulator, which is not working properly, or after 10 years’ of life.

Flexible Hoses
Use only marked and certified hoses to BS3212 and which bear the year and name of the manufacturer and
clips as LPG attacks and erodes natural rubber. Keep hose lengths as short as possible and less than 2
meters in length.
All flexible hoses must be secured with proper hose clips. Make sure that the hoses are kept clear of ‘hot spots’ and inspect them from time to time. Replace any hose that shows signs of wear or damage.
LPG Do’s and Don’ts

• Do treat a cylinder with care to ensure that the valve is not damaged. A damaged valve could result in a leak.
• Do use a cylinder upright. Horizontally, liquid gas could get into the supply pipes with serious results.
• Don’t attempt to disconnect a regulator from a switch-on valve (15kg and 7kg cylinders) if the flame does not go out when the regulator switch is turned off. Leave the appliance alight and call your Gas Supplier.
• Don’t subject a cylinder to heat, because the pressure inside the cylinder could build up to a point beyond the designedsafety limit.
• Don’t store or use cylinders below ground level, because LPG is heavier than air. If there is a leak, the gas will collect at low level and become dangerous in the presence of flame or a spark.
• Don’t store or use propane cylinders (red) indoors, because propane is contained under higher pressure and should only be kept outdoors.

Carbon monoxide the facts
• When gas does not burn properly, poisonous carbon monoxide fumes may be produced.
• You cannot see or smell carbon monoxide fumes. They are invisible, odourless, colourless and tasteless.
• Fumes from partially burnt gas kill more people than fires and explosions from unburnt gas.
• Faulty gas appliances, poor ventilation and incorrect flues may produce carbon monoxide.
• The danger signs on gas appliances are stains, deposits of soot and excessively yellow or orange flames.
• Carbon monoxide can cause drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, watering eyes, chest pains or palpitations, sickness,stomach pains or diarrhoea. Unfortunately, these are vague symptoms produced by many other causes such as influenza and food poisoning.
• You should seek medical advice if you persistently suffer from any of the symptoms listed above after being in an area where any gas burning appliance is in use, and of course have your gas installation checked by a competent installer.
• Remember, gas appliances which are designed, installed and used correctly, regularly serviced, and properly
ventilated and flued are completely safe.
• Consider the installation of a suitably certified carbon monoxide detector.
