Club Rules

UBC Club Handbook

The 10 Rules of UBC

  1. Treat every item of equipment within the boat club as if it was your personal property.
  2. Treat every member of the Club with respect and courtesy.
  3. The Executive of the Club will publish a boat and oar allocation list – no one is to use boats and oars other than in accordance with that allocation.
  4. Before going on the water please ensure the Log Book has been filled out, and note your return on completing the row. This is a safety requirement.
  5. Be quick when using the pontoon or launching from the steps, and remember incoming rowers have the right of way, and always remember rule No.2.
  6. No boats, the property of the Union Boat Club, are to be rowed downstream of the Cobham Bridge on the Whanganui River.
  7. All boats and oars are to be washed before being returned to their racks.
  8. All boats and oars are to be returned to the same rack as they were removed from.
  9. If anything breaks, either fix it, or tell someone who can fix it – don’t leave it for the next person to discover when they get on the water.
  10. Always try your hardest to act in a way that will make your family, friends and club proud.

UBC Gym Rules

  1. Treat every item of equipment within the boat club as if it was your personal property.
  2. Treat every member of the Club with respect and courtesy.
  3. Remember not everyone is as strong as you – please unload the heavy weights off the bar when you finish and return them to the appropriate place!
  4. Please spray and wipe down all equipment you use when you finish – we don’t want to share your sweat. Please use a sweat towel if possible.
  5. Please leave the Gym as you would like to find it next time you arrive – and remember to lock all windows and doors.

Please be aware of your own safety and that of others when using the gym equipment. If you are planning a heavy weights session please ensure you have appropriate supervision in case of an accident/emergency.

The club does not condone the use of heavy weights when completing workouts alone.

Athletes

All athletes/rowers must be able to swim 50m in light clothes unassisted.
If you cannot swim – NO ROW.

Your safety in the first instance is your own responsibility.
