Dear Club Members and Friends of the Club
After careful deliberation and response to feedback from key stakeholders we have decided to
implement paid parking at WRFC.
Please be reassured that Members will be able to park completely free all year round.

We have chosen a company called PPM (Private Parking Management) to oversee patrols and issue
Parking Charge Notices (PCN’s). They will carry the whole cost of installation and signage. The
system will not be automated (no ANPR cameras) initially and WRFC will have final say on all PCN’s.
It is the intention to use some, or all, of the monies raised to improve the car parking facilities (repair
potholes, lighting, signage, tarmac Preston Rd, repaint bays etc) and to try to deal more effectively
with dog poo issues. We will also, in due course, have to pay for resurfacing of the main carpark.

Initially WRFC will enter all registrations by registration plate lists given to the IT department of PPM.
We hope to do this via collection by Membership section leads (age-group managers or designated
persons). In future seasons, we hope to achieve this by digitally attaching car registrations to Membership
Cards and for members to be able to manage their Membership Card account and registration
numbers.

Please bear with us, despite our best efforts to foresee complications, there may be issues which
need addressing during the implementation stage. We do have some flexibility with the scheme to
mitigate problems that might arise.

Your support and cooperation are invaluable as we work towards enhancing the overall experience
at WRFC.
Kind regards, The Executive Committee
