Refunds

Most events are free, but for events with a cost (usually for training, accommodation, communal food etc) refunds are generally not available once monies have been paid. In some cases we may be able to offer a refund if the club can absolve itself of any costs so as to not lose money. Any refunds will need to be approved by the committee. Please contact us if you would like to apply for a refund.

All members whether coaches, river leaders, experienced paddlers or novices accept a duty of care for on and off water safety applicable to their experience; however whilst member of all grades and qualification do their utmost to ensure appropriate level of peer safety, each paddler by attending an event accepts that they cannot place legal liability on their peers in the event of incident.
