Equipment hire
Equipment can only be booked out and collected from the club between 8 and 8:30pm on Mondays or Thursdays.
Bookings can be made in advance, in person at the club, and can only be made by full club members.
Members may only book out one boat and associated equipment for themselves, unless the Equipment Officer authorises otherwise. Members may not hire boats or equipment for the use of non-members unless the Equipment Officer permits them to do so.
New members who have not done a Regents Introduction to White Water Kayaking course may be required to demonstrate that they can safely handle a kayak/canoe (including safely exiting a kayak whilst upsidedown in the water, or rolling the boat) and that they know how to safely transport boats.
Day rate is only applicable for club day trips or items hired on Monday and returned on Thursday
Equipment hired for the weekend/week should normally be returned on the following Monday or Thursday at the latest between 8.00 and 8:30pm.
Any equipment NOT returned on time will be subject to the normal weekly hire rate, as shown below.
All equipment MUST be checked in and not just left
All equipment should be returned clean and dry. If paddling in sea water, equipment should be rinsed in fresh water and dried. All sand should be removed from boats.
If you have any questions, or any problems with equipment, please email our Equipment Officer Claire. Please also let Claire know if there is a problem with the equipment so that it can be repaired or replaced.
Lost boats or paddles will incur a £20 charge, if they are lost on a club trip. If boats, paddles or other equipment are lost or damaged on a non-club trip, the club may seek full reimbursement of the costs of purchasing replacement equipment.
