Craignish Boat Club Membership Form 2025

Craignish Boat Club Membership Form

March 2025
Craignish Boat Club is a voluntary organisation based on the Craignish Peninsula and run by its members. As a member of Craignish Boat Club we look forward to seeing you on the water. Also, please volunteer to help keep the club active, safe and fun for all of us. We have a year plan which will be included in the club hand book and published on our website. We have two main site and equipment maintenance days in 2025 that we encourage all members to come along to. These are:

Sunday 13th April 2025

Sunday 28th September 2025

Please come along and join in on these days - more details will be advertised nearer the time. We hope to have refreshments/soup/BBQ on these dates and will be looking for help with these as well as practical maintenance and site tidying tasks.

We plan to have a fun day on the 8th of June for the whole club (sailing, kayaking and rowing), making our way down on the water to Kilvaree Beach where we will have fun, food and maybe some racing. There will also be opportunity for non-members to come and try. For those who don't want to make their way by water would be welcomed to join us by road. More details to follow closer to the time.

Dates for club activites will be on our website, facebook pages and emailed out. Many thanks and we look forward to seeing you on the water in 2025!

CRAIGNISH BOAT CLUB
SAFETY ON EILEAN TRAIGHTE

Please read the Craignish Boat Club Handbook for more information, club rules and kit requirements. This can be found on www.craignishboatclub.org.uk

· PARKING CBC members must NOT park in the lay-by under any circumstances. Please use the car park and if full park at the village hall and walk along.

· PARENTAL SUPERVISION All cadets aged 16 and under must have a parent or guardian accompanying them during cadet and kayaking sessions. If for any reason your child needs to come off the water early an appointed adult must be present to receive them.

· BUOYANCY AIDS All adults and children must come to club sessions with a suitable and correctly fitted buoyancy aid.

· RISKS DURING CBC SESSIONS There are inherent risks attached to sailing, paddlesports and rowing. Participants can get bumps and bruises on a regular basis. If the head is hit hard by the boom, it can cause serious head injuries. There is a possibility of being trapped underwater by lines/ropes or being stuck under an upturned hull. There is a small risk of drowning and hypothermia. CBC works to reduce these risks by the presence of instructors on the water, a dedicated safety boat and continuous assessment of weather conditions. All CBC instructors and safety boat crew are voluntary. Session fees are used to help maintain boats and equipment and pay for fuel in the various safety boats NOT to pay volunteers.

· FIRST AID Many of the adults helping at CBC sessions have First Aid Certificates. There is a first Aid Kit on site.

· SAFEGUARDING The Club applies the RYA Safeguarding Policy. If you have any concerns relating to the welfare of children and young people please contact Helen Hampton, the club Welfare Officer, welfare@craignishboatclub.org.uk

· HELMETS Some clubs use helmets when teaching dinghy sailing and kayaking. The RYA supports both the decision to use and not to use helmets. A helmet will protect the head from serious head injury. However, there is also a case for it making the wearer less aware of keeping their head out of the way; then on days when the sailor doesn’t use the helmet, they may be more likely to be injured. CBC does not have a particular stance for or against helmets. Ultimately it is the responsibility of the cadet’s parents to decide whether or not a child should use a helmet.

Should a member receive a head injury where a concussion is suspected it will be the club's policy to follow medical guidance. This will mean participation at the club will be restricted for any period where symptoms exist and for at least two weeks after symptoms have cleared. These restrictions are to safeguard members and will be put in place despite membership fees having been paid.

· PRIVATE BOATS Private boats/dinghies/kayaks are left on the island at the owners own risk and only with agreement from the committee. It is the owner’s responsibility to arrange insurance.

All activities are weather dependent and may be cancelled at short notice.
