In view of the potential dangers associated with canoeing, Tonbridge Canoe Club (the Club) and its officers wish to make it clear to all members, and particularly to parents of junior members, that no liability can be accepted by the Club or its officers for any accident or injury which may occur to members of the Club or to members of the public through the actions of Club members whilst they are engaged in any activities related to the Club.

It is recommended that junior members be equipped with buoyancy aids and should wear them at all times when on the water. All juniors must be accompanied by a suitably qualified or experienced adult whilst canoeing. It is the junior's responsibility to only launch their boat with suitable adult supervision.

Separate club changing rooms are provided for male and female paddlers. The changing rooms are for mixed age group use and junior paddlers are likely to find themselves sharing a changing room with adult paddlers. If a junior member or parent/guardian is uncomfortable with this situation they are free to make alternative arrangements e.g. change at home before/after paddling.

Parents/guardians of junior members are required to complete a consent form for every junior member. These forms will enable junior members to obtain medical aid quickly should it be necessary, either at the club or away at an event.
