Guidance
Tuesday night is our official club night, when we are expected to be on-site. The changing-rooms will be available for use, and keys will be available from John from 18:00.
At all other times, if you need access to the site (e.g for a trip):
- It's your responsibility to ask a committee-member for keys on a Tuesday night. Remember to make a note in the key log. Please return the keys promptly after use.
- You must create a trip in BoatTrippy. This must be complete before noon on Thursday, when the SBOAC Liaison officers write the weekly access email to the SBOAC staff.
- You need to add a car (with your access times) when you create your trip in BoatTrippy. You need to do this even if you're not driving, e.g you're paddling on Shadwell Basin or the Thames (please indicate this fact in "Location" when you create the trip).
- Your access times must be within the times listed in the table (and current exception-list, if any) below. Access outside these times will not be approved.
- Changing-rooms can often be made available on Saturdays, please make note of it on your BT request if required.
- Please do not contact the SBOAC staff directly. Route any queries through your SBOAC Liaison officers.
