The Course
The arrangements for the Junior Week are made in good faith but we reserve the right to cancel or make other arrangements if operational or other considerations so dictate. The awarding of RYA Levels will depend on the weather, the availability of instructors and the child's ability and are therefore not guaranteed. The safety and safe conduct of the children is paramount and the Senior Instructor will have the right to cancel the activity if it is not deemed safe. All adult volunteers working alone with the children will be DBS checked.
Images
Photographs may be taken during the week. If you would not want photographs of your child used in promotional or advertising literature or on the club website, please confirm this in writing to the Commodore.
Person making Booking
The individual making the booking is responsible for ensuring that the child is physically fit and able to take part in Junior Week and to notify us in writing of any medical or other conditions that may affect the personal safety of any adult helpers or participants. We reserve the right to terminate Junior Week for any child who refuses to comply with the instructions or orders given by the staff or whose behaviour is deemed to cause danger or upset to other participants or staff.
Facilities
We expect that the changing rooms and showers will be available all week and the children will be able to buy drinks and snacks from the sailing club, if they so wish, although some drinks and biscuits will be provided. They will need a packed lunch each day, wet weather gear including a full wetsuit, trainers and a change of clothes plus a suitable buoyancy aid. Ebay has a good selection of children's sailing clothing wetsuits, sailing tops etc.
Insurance
We strongly recommend that you are insured for Junior Week. It is your responsibility to ensure that your policy includes cover for watersports activities.
