POLICIES AND BASICS

Guidance – Club Operating and Safety Procedures
Come and Try It Sessions Insurance:
Our insurers have agreed to extend cover under the civil liability policy for clubs to give non members up to 4 introductory sessions without the individuals having to become members.
No charge is made for this extended cover.
On the fifth session the non member must join the club in order to be included in the club liability insurance.
Clubs should maintain records of those individuals taking part in the taster sessions and make available to insurers in the event of a claim against the club. Any injuries or damage to property occurring during the sessions should be reported to Canoe England.
The Come and Try It Session Insurance Form and fee are no longer required .
