Security & Parking

  • Access gates to the clubhouse should be locked at all times.
  • Clubhouse or boatsheds should not be left jammed open and unattended at any time, anyone repeatedly doing this will have their fob deactivated.
  • If you are last to leave the clubhouse please have a look around and ensure that all access routes are closed especially toilet and changing rooms windows. Also check that all heaters and lights are turned off.
  • Parking cars on-site is not permitted. Please park in the Anglers Rest car park, as parking on the road outside the clubhouse inconveniences our neighbours.

Equipment

The club has invested in equipment for the benefit of the members over the years. This includes maintenance equipment from lawn mowers and hedge trimmers to gym equipment stored in the upstairs meeting room. All of this equipment is for use on-site only and is not to be removed off-site without the approval of the secretary or treasurer.
Club paddling equipment is the responsibility of the relevant discipline officer and any queries in relation paddling equipment should be directed to them.

WWKC Boat Space Policy

The goal of the club providing boat spaces to members is to get people out on
the water paddling. Boat spaces are not for long term storage, instead they
should be for boats that are actively used.

  1. Priority storage is for WWKC club boats, but club fleet expansion should not
    deprive a member of an existing space.
  2. Boat Space allocations are the responsibility of each discipline officer.
  3. Where more applications are received than there are spaces to support the following factors should be considered when allocating spaces:
    1. Frequency that the boat is likely to be used.
    2. Historical use and ownership of Boat Spaces.
    3. Any additional circumstances that may increase the necessity of a boats
      space (for example mobility issues, living conditions that do not allow home
      storage).
    4. Time spent on a waiting list.
  4. When space supply allows, a member may be granted multiple permits for the same boat space type.
  5. Discipline officers should inform members promptly of the space(s) assigned to them,
    and these assignments should be clearly marked on a printed boat-space map/table
    in the corresponding boat shed.
  6. Members are asked, where practical, to clearly label their boat with the owner’s
    name. Once assigned, members must store their boat in the correct space.
  7. When permit demand exceeds supply, a wait list is to be maintained.
  8. All communications to members regarding boats stored will be conducted through the
    email supplied when applying for a boat space.

Intruder Boats

  1. An intruder boat is defined as any boat stored without an appropriate permit or
    confirmed payment.
  2. Intruder boats may be clamped or moved to offsite storage.
  3. The clamp release fee is equal to the annual boat space fee
  4. The release-from-storage fee for a removed intruder boat is double the annual
    boat space fee for each year that the boat is in storage.
  5. After three months, unclaimed boats may be sold to recover storage costs by
    following the same process as used for club equipment sales.

Note: this policy is modelled on legal/illegal car parking practice.

WWKC operates on a volunteer ethos.
Please report intruder boats to the discipline officer and secretary. If you have a query, ask secretary@wwkc.net

Unauthorised removal of club property is a disciplinary offence.
