Dear All

Well the football on Saturday at Dagenham was an unmitigated disaster, a 5-0 loss, our keeper sent off (so our replacement was a guy who has played about 45 minutes of football in 7 years, so he’s that good!) and rain hit us even in the sponsors box, so my sisters birthday present was not a succesful one.

Still, the carvery lunch was excellent with Roast Pork, Yorkshires, Veg and 8, yes 8 roast potatoes for me! I honestly believe that relegation is a near certainty now as the confidence has gone and even the Captain looked downbeat.

Never mind I had Arsenal to cheer me up…not! But we had a quiet Sunday and now back at work to hopefully finish the month on a high. My 121 is this afternoon so that is always an opportunity to learn and to coach my staff as a result. Leaders can always learn more!!

The Cover4 Sales Team had an outing last week to the Excel Caravan Show and Crystal loved it so much so went back on Saturday in her free time! They will be undertaking a presentation to the Team at the next Team meeting so again even I can learn!!

Have a great day

Mike

PS quick birthday wishes to my Sister Caz who turns…older today!

Dear All

Many of you may remember that we were taking a very keen interest in the story of the Atlas Caravan workers who were made redundant three years ago, and I was suprised that the issue is still ongoing all these years later.

This is from the BBC Website:

Shocking that they have not had their pay yet.

Dear All

Very worrying for all of those involved.

Q: Should I take my awning down when I return from holiday?

A: The short answer is yes, most Insurance Companies will not cover you in this instance as the awning is not in use. It may take a few minutes to take the awning down but, for exapmle in these recent high winds, if you are not with the caravan the awning is likely to be damaged. The caravan (and thus the awning) is deemed as in use “when you or your immediate family are using or visiting your caravan for holiday purposes or when the caravan is attched to a towing vehicle. This includes a 24 hour period immediately prior to and returning from you or your immediate family using or visiting your caravan for holiday purposes provided the caravan is kept at your home during this 24 hour period.”

If you have any questions regarding this you can either read our policy wordings (on the Terms of Business and Documents page on the main page) or ring us free on 0800 9707172.
