Looking after your mooring
Holding a BCC mooring comes with responsibilities to your boat, your allocated area, other members and the Club site.
Keep it safe & tidy
Keep your allocated mooring site in a safe and tidy condition. Trailer storage areas must also be kept tidy.
Keep documents current
Maintain the required insurance, Boat Safety Certificate and River or Canal licence, and provide the required copies to the Club.
Site security
Club gates are to be left shut and locked unless a Club event requires otherwise.
Vehicles & access
Do not leave vehicles on Moorings Path or turning areas. Move vehicles to the car parks after unloading.
Rubbish
Members are required to take their rubbish away from the site.
Dogs
Dogs must be kept on a lead in the Club grounds and moorings, and are not permitted in the Clubhouse.
WORKING ON YOUR BOAT
Plan major work before you start
The Byelaws contain specific requirements for major external work, noisy work, grinding, welding and other activities that could affect neighbouring members or Club safety.
Major work may require the boat to be removed from the water or proposals to be agreed with the Committee. Members should also consider neighbours when planning noisy work.
Before carrying out major work
Check the current Byelaws and speak to the Committee or Mooring Master where approval is required.
