Safe Rowing on the River Lune
Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Rowing on the Lune is a fantastic experience, but the river is a changing environment. All members, visitors and crews should understand the club’s safety procedures, navigation rules and their responsibilities before going afloat.
Think. Check. Row safely.
Before every outing, consider the river, weather, visibility, equipment and the experience of the crew. If conditions do not feel right, don’t boat.
