VANDALISM

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

The club house has been struck by Vandalism in the last few days!

Travellers have occupied the adjacent disused factory area and wrecked the power generator and stolen the power cables etc

No club meetings and comp judging etc for the foreseeable future

Only hope we have Insurance cover?

Incredibly sad Bob, although I must admit I no longer give these people the credibility of referring to them as travellers. My preferred terminology cannot be shared here. I doubt you will get much help from the Police either.

At Kirklees we use a retired shipping container with three large locks on the door protected by steel covers to prevent bolt cutters or grinders being used on them. Even then one day a thug steals a motorcycle, leans it against the side of the container and sets fire to it. The transfer of heat through the steel side still did a lot of damage.

Nowadays we have a completely ineffective Police force and a totally inadequate criminal justice system. The thugs have never had it so good.

Good luck with the insurance.

Richard. Sadly this seems to be the case.

Obviously can be blamed on covid…
