due to something that has happened at a GCN club recently, the GCN has stated that if anyone has a CRB check that is over two years old, they cannot attend any events where they would be a GCN volunteer, including GAMESDAY. therefore, if you want to go to gamesday this year you MUST be CRB checked and it MUST have been issued within the last two years. check out the GCN website for more info and what to do if you need to get a CRB check done, or updated. do not leave this to the last minute as there will obviously be a lot of people having to do this in lieu of this info and if you have not got it back in time you wont be allowed to attend to run tables etc. the website is www.gcnm.org.uk/

Doesn't this mean that everyone running a table at Kelmarsh needs this too?

no, as this is NOT a GCN event.
the kelmarsh event was sorted out by myself with EH direct and has nothing to do with the GCN.
it is only events that the GCN has an involvement in actually running or supplying people and or clubs for it
the fact that the GCN council knew about kelmarsh last year, had an invite from me to attend with their stand, and did not have the decency to let us know until last week that they were not coming means that they have absolutely nothing to do with it and have no control over our participation either.
the fact that we are a GCN club is totally irrelevant for this event.
Darrell has even suggested to the higher council members that they supply us with GCN contact flyers but this too has so far drawn a blank.
they have until next friday to come up with some or i will be sending the council a very stern email about how they have let our club and the hobby down, and that in my opinion they owe us an apology as a club for their total lack of input and thought.

an update has been posted that at least 2 people MUST have appropriate and up to date (within 2 years) CRB checked, and one of those must be present at ALL times on the table.
However, from this year EVERYONE who wants to help out at ANY GCN event, and especially gamesday will need up to date CRB checks.

HOLD ON GUYS I TYHINK WE HAVE JUMPED THE GUN A BIT. I SPOKE TO LAURIE ABOUT THIS LAST NIGHT AND I HAVE HIS ASSURANCE THAT DUE TO THE LACK OF TIME BETWEEN NOW AND GAMESDAY AND THE TIME IT WOULD TAKE ALL THE CRB CHECKS TO BE DONE SO LONG AS THERE IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN CRB CHECKED MANNING THE TABLE AT ALL TIMES THAT WILL SURFICE. IN THE FUTURE ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS MUST HAVE A VALID CRB CHECK LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD ALSO IT IS ADVISED BUT NOT COMPULSORY THAT ANYONE MANNING A TABLE AT A GCN EVENT THEY ARE ALSO CRB CHECKED BUT SO LONG AS THE TABLE IS MANNED BY AT LEAST 1 MEMBER WHO IS THAT SHOUL BE OK FURTHER CLARIFICATION ON THIS MATTER ONCE THE GCN COUNCIL HAVE DISCUSED IT AT LENGTH
