…Shetland Sea Kayak Symposium…Seven weeks, Four days, and counting…

The Seventh Symposium is on it’s way!

(We’ve even got a mention in the 24-page Sea Kayaking Mini Mag free with the June issue of Canoe & Kayak UK magazine)

Changes to symposium application process

We’ve made two changes which we’re hoping will be helpful:

– there’s going to be ‘day membership’ of the SCA available for anyone that’s not in an affiliated club or SCA/ BCU

– we’ve removed the closing date

We’re hoping this will make it easier for everyone!

Consultation exercise – safety system for Adventure Activities in Scotland

Consultation on developing a safety system for Adventure Activities in Scotland is underway, it may affect us as a club and unfortunately the closing date was the 30th March! I’m sure no-one would argue against having safe systems within the club, it’s just if clubs such as ours end up being covered by this system it could be very expensive in so many ways as it will almost certainly involve paying for registration and inspection with all of the additional paperwork that will incur. We’re going to discuss it (briefly) at Club Committee Meeting on Monday and feed back general comments to SCA.
