​Initial questions to ask:

• What is the flow rate?

• What is the tide doing?

• What boat are we in?

• What are the crew like?

• What is my ability to cox in the current river conditions?

• Is it advisable to carry a passenger?

• Are there any other safety considerations e.g. lifejackets/buoyancy aids, clothing?

• The coxes can cancel a row at any time if they do not feel comfortable.

• The coxes can discuss topics on the cox’s group on Wix, or with Graham Green (Safety Officer)

• It may not be possible to predict ahead of the day if it is not possible to row, so members should follow updates on Facebook

• Rowing in conditions that are identified in red, would result in a disciplinary procedure

• If in doubt, don’t go out!
