Insurance Update

Our insurers have confirmed that "CW members have access to legal expenses cover to...defend any civil action relating to material property, owned by a third party or for which a third party is responsible, arising out of an alleged or actual negligent act or omission or any nuisance, trespass or criminal damage...which causes or could cause physical damage to such material property or pecuniary loss to a third party.”

In other words, our insurance covers all members for civil claims against them for trespass (which would include incidents where paddlers believe they are not trespassing, but others claim that they are!). Paddlers should still do whatever they can to minimise conflict if they are accused of trespassing, but can be reassured that our insurance cover is available to help them if needed.

Members have access to a 24/7 365 days a year Claims Notification & Advice Helpline Service on 01384 887585 - and should also report incidents to Canoe Wales using the form at https://www.canoewales.com/report-an-incident.
