SWCC Security

Hi all,
        last weekend some local boyos turned up in a car at SWCC, in the early hours of Sunday morning, and the suspicion is that they were 'casing the joint'. They high-tailed it when approached by a member. We have been remarkably lucky over many years and (the theft of the WBCRT Land Rover aside) have had few problems with theft from cars or from the HQ, but it is perhaps time for increased vigilance.

Members and visitors are recommended not to leave valuables in cars outside Penwyllt. Also we would ask that the gate into the car park be closed at 10.30pm. If you arrive after this time you are not being shut out; please let yourself in and shut the gate after you.

We would also ask all those visiting Penwyllt to keep their eyes open. Any suspicious comings or goings should be reported in the first instance to a member or to the Duty Officer, but do not be shy of 'phoning the police should the circumstances suggest this is appropriate. 

I hasten to point out that this post has nothing to do with the thread titled 'Idiots' currently in the Wales section of the forum.
Many thanks
Tony Baker
Chairman, SWCC.

More on security at Penwyllt. Over the weekend two blokes were spotted removing dressed stone from the station platform. The police were informed (with the car reg) and followed up.

Keep an eye open for stuff like this going on.

Tony,

The station is, I believe, a listed structure. Suggest you inform Cadw: Welsh Historic Monuments (the Welsh Assembly Government funded body responsible for listing and scheduling sites and structures of historic importance) as they can then liaise with the police on any potential prosecution.

Cheers,

Rob
