REMINDER - Cold Weather & Water Safety

Hi everyone

I wish to remind ALL rowers that with the onset of colder weather conditions and other seasonal effects everyone using the river should be mindful of the following before setting out.

  • You are responsible for your own 'Risk Assessment'
  • The Club will make decisions on rowing based on weather conditions from time to time that may affect all or just certain groups of rowers.
  • You are reminded to wear appropriate clothing for the conditions.
  • Look at the Safety Notices placed in the Clubhouse.
Check out the information on the British Rowing website at the link above or click here. This will give you all the necessary information you need to make that 'Risk Assessment'.

IF IN DOUBT - DON'T GO OUT!

Enjoy safe rowing.

Ben
