Introduction
Camping at a Brown Cup event can be an exciting and unforgettable experience. To ensure your event is safe and comfortable, it's important to follow some essential guidelines.
Fire safety first
A fire can destroy a tent in 60 seconds. Make sure you:
- Do not use candles in or near a tent, torches are safer.
- Do not smoke, vape, or burn incense in or around tents.
- Do not use cooking stoves and BBQs in the camping area. There is a separate area for using stoves in the main sailing grounds area. A club BBQ is available for use.
Know how to escape by cutting your way out of the tent if there is a fire - but there shouldn't be, as the camping area is strictly a no-flame area!
Never use BBQs inside or near the entrance of your tent - the carbon monoxide they produce can kill even hours after they have been used. To work safely BBQs need more ventilation than your tent or awning can provide. BBQs are designed for cooking food not heating spaces.
What to do in the event of a fire
1. Keep calm and get everyone away as quickly as you can.
2. Raise the alarm and contact the nearest LESC representative.
3. Muster at the Fire assembly point shown on the plan below.
Properly secure your tent
Weather conditions can change rapidly during Scottish outdoor events, so it's essential to secure your tent properly. Ensure you use the guy ropes and securely anchor your tent with sturdy tent pegs. This will prevent your tent from being displaced or damaged by strong winds. Ensuring the stability and integrity of your shelter will contribute to a more pleasant camping experience.
Prepare for all weather conditions
Stay prepared for various weather conditions that may arise during the Brown Cup event. Check the forecast and pack appropriate clothing and gear to ensure comfort and safety. Bring rain gear, warm clothing, and sun protection as needed. Being prepared for the elements will allow you to fully enjoy the event, rain or shine.
Toilets and showers
There are toilets and showers at the main club area.
Leave no trace
When it's time to leave the Brown Cup event, practice responsible camping by leaving no trace behind. Clean up your campsite and dispose of any waste properly. Take your tent and all belongings with you, ensuring the area is as clean as when you arrived. By respecting the environment, you contribute to the sustainability and enjoyment of future events.
