EGM to amend the constitution (Mon 27 Feb)

<< < (6/8) > >>

Mr C:
Eh, Liz, any club trip is already run to the CoP which requires trip leaders to be currently registered and appropriately qualified for the grade of water on which the trip is to be run. Any such intructor is covered by ICU insurance.


--- Quote from: "Liz" ---I for one would never agree to be a Trip Leader if the responsibilities set down in the code were legally binding

I, for one, wouldn't want to be led down a river by someone not willing to take on the responsibility of safety.


--- Quote from: "Liz" ---experienced paddlers who have never done a cert
--- End quote ---

As it currently stands, such paddlers are considered rescue and not trip leaders on club trips. Yes, simply because they don't have a cert, which means they are not insured. This in no way takes away from the value of such paddlers, and often when not on club trips, it is paddlers such as these that take the lead.

Do we have confusion over what is a club trip here? Easily solved: a club trip is one that uses club gear and is run in accordance with the CoP. Anything else is a private trip amongst friends. Hence club trips tend to be Liffey/Boyne affairs (anf the occasional Jackson's trip) whilst private trips are Dargle-y good!

Greg:
As far as I am aware qualified and currently registered instructors are only insured by the ICU for ICU courses.  In the past club trips have been notified to the ICU office and put on their list of courses, thus insurance has been extended.  I am not sure if this is still a current practice.

Mr C:
Before I've even opened it, it's funny to see that it's called the Final Draft. Are you trying to tell us something Tom?!!


--- Quote from: "Constitution Final Draft" ---4.9 COMMITTEE DISCLAIMER
Due to the hazardous nature of the sport, no club Officer shall be liable for any loss or injury incurred by any member or guest of the club during any club function or activity, provided that the activity is run in accordance with the Code of Practice.
--- End quote ---


Still not happy with this sentence. Why are you singling out committee members and how exactly is the disclaimer altered/improved by introducing the Code of Practice?

I'm glad to see that the voting issues have been clarified. I'd like to think that the decription of the job of Senior Treasurer deserves some paragraphs rather than just a PowerPoint-style bullet list - but maybe that's just personnal style so no bother. There are a couple of other grammar/style issues I pick out (eg mixture of double and single spaces after full-stops), but I think the meaning is clear in all cases. Maybe get someone independant to check it over? I could do it but Jim always love to help out  :D

Lastly: well done! Lots of work but it's worth it.

TomB:
the committee is being singled out since the because the the section is on the committee. it intends on singling out the committee :D
