Training this weekend 27/28th February
We are intending to run sessions both days - weather permitting.
Saturday:
Some of the juniors are racing in Cardiff. ONLY the 10:15am session will be run this weekend with reduced staff.
Any Junior arriving with inappropriate clothing will be sent home immediately (please do not leave your child until they have been checked by a coach). Only Wellingtons are acceptable in these conditions - paddling sandals will make you feet turn to blocks of ice.
we will finish the session at 12 noon prompt - any child not collected at this time can be collected from the SYSAC club house if not available at the container.
Sunday:
there is a higher likelihood of poor weather on Sunday morning.
those Seniors wishing to row on Sunday must be attired correctly
If after an initial risk assessment by the Captain, Safety Adviser, Senior Coach or a Committee Member the conditions are deemed unsuitable, club equipment can not be used.
Please note that Singles and doubles have a higher risk of capsize and fewer people available should there be an emergency - it is therefore recommended that private singles are not used in sub 4 degree conditions (club singles will be disabled).
Any crews taking to the water outside of Club training times must sign on and off the water, a book is available in the container on the battery shelf, and inform a member of the committee that they are going out.
These rules are to reduce the risk of harm to personnel and equipment - the forecast conditions are probably some of the most dangerous that we will come across - please do not treat them lightly.
Sorry for the stern nature of this note but it is important that we consider the Risks.

Boat Booking System
- boats can not be booked during the above sessions (other than sunday open senior session and monday/tuesday session)
- Boats must be returned by the time indicated on the board - if no one is booked in or there to take over the boat it may be re booked and taken out again. please ensure you write it down
- Boats can only be booked 5 days in advance
- Juniors may only go out if accompanied by a Level 2 coach
- Senior participants of an un coached session are at the captains (or representatives) discretion - simply if a coach has said its ok then its ok, if you haven't obtained permission you can't go out - this is for safety reasons
people get very cold waiting around and it is very frustrating to those taking open sessions if they decide on crews and then have to alter plans because someone turns up 20mins late.
NB
punctuality is VERY important
- please ensure you turn up either just before or on time for training.
- If you are unable to attend or are going to be late due to traffic please phone or text a coach or crew mate so we know you are coming and can take that in to account.
from the coaches side,
- we will be prompt,
- we will aim to be decissive and make a decission about crews and stick to it.
Happy Rowing
