Who in their right mind wants to go and hear Cher warbling, I think the hotel will get more bookings for Cher solely due to the picture above so I will be checking for UKW dirty old men to name and shame on the site. 😆
I will speak to Mike and place my bar meal order at lunchtime, that will give him plenty of time to prepare it.

does he require bookings for the function room only. Or does he want us to book for bar meals?

Re: UKW CHARTER (amendments)
I think we are going round in circles here. My personal preference is to have a 12 months parts and labour guarantee on all repairs apart from the odd exceptions. If the consensus here is to have 3,6,9 or 12 months guarantee it is ok by me.
This item looks like the only debateable point in section 5 so why dont we all say what we think is the best option and go with the majority
JohnRe: UKW CHARTER (amendments)
6 months is not a problem for me and I dont think it would be problem for most of the subscribers going by the poll.
JohnRe: UKW CHARTER (amendments)
looking at the poll I have running it seems that 12 months is the norm. There are a couple who only give 3 months and no one with less.
Why dont we then go for a minimum of 3 months parts and labour guarantee acoross the board and then we wont be stepping on anyones toes.

Ok changed it 😳kwatt wrote:With the safety check you open a can of worms…
If you stipulate one then what one/s? How do you ensure that it was carried out? How do we know that the member has the proper equipment calibrated to do it? How do we react when they don’t adhere to it? How do we police the use of it?
Ah,ha I see where you are coming from now.
The point I am trying to make for instance, is that we have it in writing that at a minimum an earth leakage and continuity test should be done, If it is not done then it is not our problem. We cannot police such a step and I dont think it is our job to do so all we can do is set a standard. I know on a lot of spares invoices I get it says at the bottom ” must be fitted by a competant person” If it is fitted by Mr smith and he kills himself is the supplier to blame?
You have also said above ” How do we react when they don’t adhere to it?” we dont, we would only react on any violation when a complaint is received about a member who does not comply as we would for any other violation of the charter.When you look at the charter in general there is a lot of conditions that members should adhere to and in the day to day running of their businesses we would never know if they followed the charter to the rule. At the end of the day the charter will make members think about its conditions when they sign it and it will make members of the public happier to use one of the members when or if they read it.
Inclusion of safety testing is not a major stumbling block for me and if the consensus is to leave it out then so be it.
Re: UKW CHARTER (amendments)
I still have a couple of problems with section 4
In line 5 are we not going to insist on a proper safety check?
When you open any service manual it is usualy the first paragraph that hits you in the face and think it could be problem in future if not included.I can’t see the problem with us using the sentance “Any used parts and packaging will be left tidy for inspection and correct disposal by the customer, in line with current legislation” Why go to the hassle of producing a bulletin when we can peg it down with the words ” for inspection and correct disposal by the customer”
