Special Announcement - The Future of Banana Bash |
|
Rovers of Queensland,
It is with great pleasure, that we announce that Scouts Queensland has been successful in securing insurance for Banana Bash in the next financial year.
Ladies and Gentlemen - Bash is Back!
At the Queenalsnd Branch Rover Council (QBRC) meeting held tonight, the Branch Commissioner for Rovers released a document outlining key details in relation to the use of Banana Bash vehicles in the future. This document is effective immediately. An approved Queensland Branch Scouting Instruction (QBSI) policy will be released in the near future. We cannot stress enough the importance of Rovers following these details and policy. Any breach of these rules will put the future of Motorsports in Queensland at risk.
Three documents can be found on the Queensland Rover Website for your perusal. (You will need to be a member of the website)
1. Rover Motorsport 2013 - Key Details
2. Banana Bash Manual - Approved April 2013 (This includes vehicle specification rules and guidelines)
3. Position Application Form
Applications for a Chair for the Banana Bash are now open. QBRC have also called for expressions for interest for other committee roles. Please read through the attached documents for more information on this. Consistent with past practice, any event Chair applicant will need to be approved by QBRC after an interview, and any proposed date, venue, budget and other key details regarding any Bash event will also need to be approved by QBRC.
We want to stress that it is unlikely that the next event will follow a traditional bash format, as it has been several years since the last event.
This is an exceptional and exciting result achieved through the hard work of a great number of people.
More details will be released in the near future. In the meantime, please direct all questions to the BC Rovers at

NRC Bullying & Harassment Policy |
|
Bullying and Harassment was identified as an issue for the Rover Section to address in the recent National Rover Section Review. The NRC has developed a DRAFT policy and several other resources to help tackle this issue.
This is an important issue for all Rovers to take responsibility for addressing; it's not just something to be tackled by QBRC or you Region Representative. The resources include a document entitled "Identifying and Managing Bullying" which is designed to inform and educate Rovers and can also be used to faciltate crew or region discussions about the issue. Refer to National Downloads section of the Qld Rover website for copies.
For more information please contact the BC Rovers, at
