LMR Membership Regulations
      1. Each individual member, farming partnership or company wishing to become a member of LMR will initially purchase one share at the nominal value of £40.00, for which a share will be issued. The cost of the share is non-refundable. An annual subscription is payable, with the amount being determined by the Board of Directors.
      2. Members must be approved by the Board.
      3. In the event of LMR accepting a grant or a loan from anybody, the members of LMR bind themselves to accept the rules and / or conditions attached to the grant or loan.
      4. Members are obliged to offer their spare capacity initially to the ring and to cover their own additional demand for services initially from LMR.
      5. All inter-member work sourced after joining the LMR, MUST go through the LMR payment System, whether initiated by the LMR Managers or by the member themselves.
      6. LMR does not guarantee supplier members that it will be able to secure work for them, nor is any member duty bound to quote or work for any other member.
      7. LMR does not guarantee any demander member that a request can be satisfied.
      8. Demander members are always free to say whom they do and do not wish to be the supplier
      9. All members who wish to carry out work for LMR (suppliers) SHOULD ENSURE THAT THEIR INSURANCE POLICIES ARE EXTENDED TO COVER CONTRACTING. This is to include the use of tractors, other vehicles and equipment as well as an EXTENSION TO THEIR EMPLOYERS AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. The minimum requirement is five million pounds.
      10. Demanders who hire in self-propelled vehicles need to make adequate insurance arrangements. If the machine has been hired without operator, the demander must prove that cover is in place before delivery/collection by posting/emailing a copy of the insurance note to the LMR Office and the supplier. All suppliers should ensure that policy wordings cover them for the hire. All demanders should ensure that cover notes are specific to the line of work intended for the machine (i.e. work off the farm should be specified).
      11. All members who wish to have work done (demanders) should have ADEQUATE EMPLOYERS AND PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. The minimum is five million pounds.
      12. It is the responsibility of the supplier to ensure that the equipment is mechanically sound and fit for its purpose that it is fully guarded to comply with health and safety legislation and ALL WORK CARRIED OUT COMPLIES WITH CURRENT LEGISLATION. Where machinery is supplied with an operator, it should be noted that there are formal mutual obligations between supplier and demander relating to the safety of the premises, equipment and operating systems. Further details should be obtained from the Health and Safety Executive.
      13. A supplier who wishes to provide a crop spraying service, or other service covered by FEPA legislation must ensure that the operator possesses a certificate of competence.
      14. Demander members engaging gang labour should ensure on a weekly basis that the supplier has a current GLA licence. LMR is not the supplier and does not have a licence.
