Club Constitution
Modern clubs are required to be well structured with transparent procedures. Nomad Kayak Club operates around a constitution supported by policies, procedures, codes of conduct and risk assessments. Hard copies can be found at the Club’s base in the Rickmansworth Aquadrome. The Committee welcomes comments from its members on this documentation in order to continuously improve.
