Working Sub-Committee Guidance for Training Groups

The instructions of the designated Safety Officer for each group must be complied with immediately.

Agree at start of season a Group Co-ordinator to liaise with the Club Secretary and Working Group Sub-Committee.
Train on a first-come first-served basis or some other mutually agreed method.
All equipment (boats etc) is the property of the NNC and this can be made available to all members at reasonable request.
There must be a minimum of three people to hold a training session.
Wet/dry suits must be worn at all times when in the water together with a life jacket/buoyancy aid.
Only RYA2 trained people to drive the boat.
There must be one other responsible adult in the boat as well as the coxswain and trainer/handler.
It is the owner/handler's responsibility to train their own dog. However, if required members with more experience will offer advice and assistance.
It is the responsibility of the training groups to ensure that all members, new and old, are given time at each session to develop their stewarding skills and put them into action at all training sessions.
It is expected that all members attending training groups will offer their services at Test Events to steward once they have achieved stewarding skills.
Monies collected should cover cost of repairs/replacement of training items and cost of venue (non-profit making).
All fees should be reasonable and accountable.
All monies and equipment will remain the property of the NNC.
