**Responsible Adult: Person responsible for a minor at all the FCR events.
CASINO
At a meeting it was decided by members present that there should be repercussions for those who did not honour their commitments to the Club and the Casino. To prevent taking the chance of losing our Casino licences in future by ensuring that volunteers understand how important it is to follow through with their commitments, it was moved that if confirmed volunteers for a Casino do not fulfil their Club commitments, they will not qualify for any year-end awards or be allowed to participate in any clinics the Club may hold for the Casino term, seconded and passed by the Meeting.
