Documents & Forms
As a Clubmark accredited club Wokingham Canoe Club has adopted certain policies which demonstrate our commitment to providing a safe environment for all our members. We have a code of conduct which all members (and parents of junior members) should be aware of and adhere to.
The club has also adopted a disciplinary policy and a procedure for the resolution of disputes. In addition to its own policies and procedures the club also adheres to the rules and policies of the British Canoeing.
