Private trips

kmck:
We are going to follow our code of practice to the letter.
This means you must have the recognised ICU qualification to paddle that section of river. In other words you need at least level 3 to particpate in private trips.

You must give us 2 days notice if you want to borrow club gear.
If you want to get private gear still give us at least a days warning so that we can budget time as I am sure you are aware most of us are in lectures and doing write ups.

All club gear most be signed out; on sign out forms, these are available for download from ucdcanoeclub.com as is the code of practice.

If you do not have the revelant qualification there must be an instuctor present as part of your group.

The descission of whether you will be allowed to borrow gear will be decided by the committee.

To contact us regarding borrowing club gear just send a private message to Both Andy and myself. We will get back to you as soon as possible with the name, number and time a member of the committee will be available.

With the return of gear I will be available to go to the boathouse to collect it. If I am not make sure gear is returned by contacting a member of the committee.

We have had to tighten up the lending of gear due to safety and liabilty problems.


No gear will be allowed to be borrowed if you don't give notice!
All particpating members using club gear must give notice and sign out gear.
If it is a mixed group of private and club anyone using club gear must sign out and give two days notice prior to the trip.
Failure to do so will mean you won't be allowed to borrow gear.

I hope this does not appear too draconian but the committee feels that this is necessary for safe running of the club.

Remember using club gear on private trips is not a right it is a privallage.
If abused will be removed.

joxer:
Fair play. Make them buy there own gear

now not to seem a bit silly,

but doesn't this seem a bit ridiculous in a country where rivers can go up or down on a sneeze of water seem a bit ridiculous?

I mean, it rains last night, the annamoe is running today, and I give two days notice and the water is......... let me see.......   gone!

seems a bit iffy.
but, on the other hand, if you want to discourage people from paddling on a whim, this is gonna do it......

slapper:
there's always the weather forecast that can be checked out in advance............

if people are free to grab club boats and club gear at will, the club is going to lose lots of gear as has happened so often in the past.

I think Kieran was right to point out the rules that need to be followed for taking club gear.

carlito:
Besides,

Don't all these students have lectures and tutorials and practicals to go to?
