Trip Leaders Resource
The club’s trip leaders are the key to a full and exciting calendar. Becoming a trip leader can seem daunting, however the more experienced coaches and trip leaders are incredibly willing to support people who are prepared to support you. As always start with smaller trips, in sheltered water.
Insurance
Official club trips (i.e. published in the calendar are covered by the club insurance.

Guidance on the rules that cover club trips is written up the SOP. See the Club Documents page

Club Coaches
Qualified coaches are also vital to the club. We have a short induction process to make sure we let you know how things work and also for coaches we need to carry out PVG procedures (child protection).
