General terms

Clubhouse
Non members and under 14’s are not allowed in the changing room unaccompanied. Parents/guardians are required to ensure students treat the facilities with respect – and wash up quickly. We can’t maintain our low cost if water bills spiral or if extra cleaning is required.

Boats
Club boats will be used, students are expected to treat them with care and respect. Repeated misuse will lead to the student being required to leave.

Staff
The training will be led by a BCU trainee L3 coach and other coaches/volunteers from the club. We have applied for CRB checks on all staff.

* BCU 2 Star
This now requires two trips of two hours, or two races/competitions; we’d need to agree a weekend or evening time to do this.
