TRIP ORGANISING
It’s not only your instructors and exec members that can organise trips. We welcome all club members (no matter the experience level) to organise a trip of their choosing. We'll even give you all the help and support you need to ensure a smooth, safe and enjoyable trip. It isn’t as scary as it may seem!
Here is a guidebook to help you get started on planning a trip and a trip planning template that you'll need to fill out and get signed off by the River Vice President or River Safety Officer.
