Subject: Important Rule changes at Holme Pierrepont
Importance: High
Dear All,
I have been informed this week that in light of some recent incidents involving members of the public falling into the course that the National Watersports Centre have reviewed their regulations regarding the wearing of buoyancy aids when working inside the bund at the slalom course.
As a result from the 1st December 2011 we will all be expected to wear appropriate safety equipment when working next to the river. Please read the attached letter and you are expected to comply with this ruling from 1 December. This will apply to all paddlers and coaches although note that gates may be adjusted when standing on the bund without the need for a buoyancy aid.
Even if you may not agree with this policy, you will be expected to comply
