HRC Coaches need to be on club register for Insurance
2020 Rowing Plan Endorsed
The HRC Committee endorsed the 2020 rowing plan at the December committee meeting. <2020 Rowing Plan>
One key aspect to bring to members attention is the introduction of a coaches register over the next three weeks. This is necessary due to issues associated with our insurers not providing coverage for paid third parties operating within a not for profit club insurance regime.
We will require all coaches to be part of a register that is held by the Captain. If you are utilising personal paid coaching services please check with the Captain that your coach is on the club’s register of approved coaches. You are not protected by HRC insurance for liability with non approved coaches.
