New Member Registration / Membership Renewal - Declarations
ECSKC is a voluntary not-for-profit association with the primary aim of enabling Members to engage in the activity of sea-kayaking. The Club is run by a Committee elected by the Members which organises the Club Meets in which Members participate and provides trained Leaders to take charge at the Meets. ECSKC endeavours to follow good practice guidelines appropriate to the activity of sea kayaking, including the provision of a safety briefing in advance of each Meet, and to do all that is reasonable to minimise risks to its Members and the public.
