yeh it was made up last year and cause a hugeee debate. as far as i can remeber if u have an instructor with u its ok. no??
no its not ok. it must be an organised club trip where we have agreed with the instructors before hand that they are instructing for UCD canoe club. Its not ok to go paddling with a friend who is an instructor and use club gear if you dont have your level 3. its really important that people realise this! paddling can be a dangerous sport if you dont know what you are doing and it is the clubs responsibilty to make sure that our gear is used safely, and thats why you have to have your level 3 before you borrow our gear to go without the club.
thats always been the way and it isnt a matter open to discussion,people will always complain but if you are serious enough about your paddling to complain, get your level 3! then you dont have to listen to the committee bitch at you when you want to yoink club gear(thats what i did!)
