Q: What is the extent of this insurance cover?
A: Where an activity is not completely covered by the club insurance policy, participants will be advised and have to complete a risk waiver to undertake that activity.
Q: What if I injure myself during one of your activities?
A: You must be responsible for your own actions. The trip leaders are volunteers and will do their best to ensure you are adequately equipped and the activity is conducted in a safe and enjoyable manner. They cannot be held responsible for any injury how-so-ever it may be caused. All activities will have a first-aid qualified person with first-aid kit in attendance. Should you have any existing medical condition which may affect your ability to participate in the activity, it is your responsibility to advise the leader of this before commencing. In addition to private health insurance, it is strongly recommended that attendees have current ambulance cover as well.
Q: Do I have to drive to trips?
A: Where possible, carpooling is where participants share the costs of attending the activity and details are usually arranged with the activity leader. If shared travel arrangements can be made, we encourage it, but it is up to you whether you share your car or ride with others. If sharing a vehicle, fuel costs are split with the amount being settled with the driver.
Q: Can I bring a friend with me on a trip?
A: Of course you can bring along a friend, but you must always clear it with the activity club leader or club secretary first. When bringing a friend, ensure that they are adequately prepared to undertake the activity, as the leader reserves the right to refuse their attendance if required.
Q: How hard are your trips?
A: Activities are guided by the leaders so check with the activity briefing prior to activity.
Q:
Can children attend club activities?
A: Children under 18yrs can attend club activities, provided they are
members, their parent / guardians have completed all the relevant documentation
and they are accompanied by their parent / guardian or a designated responsible
adult. Restrictions may apply, depending on the age of the child and the nature
of the activity. Activity leaders do reserve the right to refuse attendance of
any child to any club activity if applicable.
