The club sessions are designed to provide a pathway for new members, those wishing to develop skills in the various disciplines, gain qualifications, progress in their chosen discipline, e.g., racing, or just to enjoy the activity as part of a group session.
Members wishing to enjoy the activities on the lake outside of the club-led sessions are reasonably expected to have a level of competency in the respective activity, be confident in their ability to self-rescue and to rescue others in their group, and to provide their own craft and personal equipment. As such club craft and equipment are not generally available for casual use outside of the prescribed activities.
Exceptions to the above may be permitted on days when there is a qualified duty officer present at the club, mainly Saturdays and Sundays in peak season and Sundays in low season. This will be to allow limited access to the club equipment e.g., buoyancy aids, in the event that kit is forgotten or to support member’s guests in accordance with the member’s guest policy.
Additional exceptions, in particular those involving club craft, are at the sole discretion of an appropriately qualified leader and committee member and subject to proper qualification of the scope of the request.
Club craft, wetsuits and buoyancy aids are available for members to use as part of club led activities, these are generally canoe/SUP club on Thursday evenings and sailing on Sundays.
Use of club sailing dinghies is only permitted when safety cover is active on the lake, provided by a club helm who holds at least RYA PB2 certificate.
