6. Ar gyfer eich Diogelwch
DIOGELWCH PLANT
The festival is located in a large, wooded area and parents are advised to supervise children at all times. Warn your children not to pick any wildflowers, touch any mushrooms or harm any wildlife. Lost children should be reported immediately to a steward or security with a 2-way radio or reported at the Box Office or Merch Desk.
Diogelwch Tân
- Os bydd tân: Bydd cloch dân yn seinio a bydd y stiwardiaid yn eich cyfeirio at y man ymgynnull tân agosaf. Dylech gyfeirio at y polisi diogelwch tân ar hysbysfwrdd ysgubor y goedwig am ragor o wybodaeth. Cofiwch nodi eich man diogelwch tân a'ch safbibell dŵr agosaf.
- Rydym yn dwli ar danau gwersyll; ond dim ond tanau gwersyll wedi'u rheoli gan Between The Trees a ganiateir. PWYSIG - NI chaniateir unrhyw danau, barbeciwiau na phowlenni tân unrhyw le ar y safle gan gynnwys yr holl ardaloedd gwersylla.
- Caniateir cyfarpar coginio â nwy ond rhaid sicrhau ei fod wedi'i godi o leiaf 15cm (6 modfedd) oddi ar y ddaear er mwyn atal tân a sicrhau na wneir unrhyw niwed i'r glaswellt. Ni chaniateir i chi ddefnyddio poptai nwy y tu mewn i'ch pabell nac mewn ardaloedd amgaeedig o dan unrhyw amgylchiadau.

Fodd bynnag, peidiwch â gadael pethau gwerthfawr yn eich pabell, a rhowch wybod ar unwaith am unrhyw blant sydd wedi mynd ar goll ac unrhyw ymddygiad amheus i'r tîm diogelwch neu'r stiwardiaid.
