This legal requirement is met by having such items registered in the name of RDA (NSW), but for practical reasons, the postal/contact details are to be those of the Centre, not State Office.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have just been notified that there is still an issue with the registration details held by the NSW Roads & Maritime Services in respect of some of these trailers/vehicles.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>By way of background for new Committees, some time ago, a Centre went to their local RMS to register a trailer. As best as we can understand, it appears that the staff there noticed that there were a number of trailers and vehicles registered in the name of RDA (NSW), but all had different postal addresses. At least some, if not all, of those addresses were then changed to that of the Centre which had just paid the renewal for their Centre’s trailer. As a result, subsequent renewal notices were sent to that Centre, which is how that error was discovered.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We have just received notification that, in RMS correcting the address for service, it appears that an error has been made in that at least two trailers had their postal addresses changed to the wrong Centre’s postal address. This has resulted in one Centre inadvertently paying for the registration of the trailer which belonged to another Centre. This was discovered when the second Centre went to register their trailer and were notified by the RMS that their trailer has already been registered. Unfortunately, that would indicate that the Centre which paid that registration fee did not register its own trailer but that for another Centre and may therefore have been using their trailer unregistered.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>That particular error is in the process of being rectified. However, it indicates that there may still be a problem. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>To ensure that this issue is not repeated, could all Centres which have registered vehicles and/or trailers please check to make sure that the RMS holds your correct postal address details <b><u>and</u></b> that the details are for the correct vehicle/trailer. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please let me know if you have any questions in relation to this or if you need any assistance to rectify any problems on this matter.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Joseph Orland<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Honorary Director, Finance Officer & Company Secretary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Riding for the Disabled Association (NSW)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Quad 1, Level 2, 8 Parkview Drive, Sydney Olympic Park, NSW<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>(PO Box 710 Sydney Markets NSW 2129)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Ph</span></b><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>: (02) 8736 1256 <b>Mob:</b> 0407 004 019<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Email: </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><a href="mailto:stateoffice@rdansw.org.au"><span style='color:#1F497D'>joseph.orland@rdansw.org.au</span></a></span><u><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></u></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Web: </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><a href="http://www.rdansw.org.au/"><span style='color:#1F497D'>www.rdansw.org.au</span></a></span><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold",sans-serif;color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>"Riding Develops Abilities"<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'> <img border=0 width=79 height=57 style='width:.825in;height:.5916in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D5F634.60F15A60" alt="cid:image001.png@01CBDCAA.ABB8D800"> </span><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><img border=0 width=61 height=61 style='width:.6333in;height:.6333in' id="Picture_x0020_5" src="cid:image002.png@01D5F634.60F15A60" alt="cid:image009.png@01D56F0C.90FD55B0"><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'>Donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'> <img border=0 width=203 height=39 style='width:2.1166in;height:.4083in' id="Picture_x0020_3" src="cid:image003.png@01D5F634.60F15A60" alt="cid:image005.png@01D56F0D.32653850"></span><i><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'><o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-AU'> <img border=0 width=56 height=56 style='width:.5833in;height:.5833in' id="_x0000_i1026" src="cid:image004.png@01D5F634.60F15A60" alt="cid:image006.png@01D56F0C.90FD55B0"> <img border=0 width=72 height=80 style='width:.75in;height:.8333in' id="Picture_x0020_4" src="cid:image005.png@01D5F634.60F15A60" alt="cid:image008.png@01D56F0D.32653850"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
