The club constitution requires the club secretary to hold various documents which can be requested by members.  In practice these documents will be available online which allows everyone to access them at any time.  Additional copies of the safety code are displayed in the boathouse.  The saftey code is in place for the safety of all users of the River Dee.  The Club request that all members read the code, should you have any questions or are unsure as to how it relates to you, please ask a committee member or Tom Reevell, the club saftey officer.
