Club Boat Inspection dates are normally held the last weekend of November. If however for some reason you require to have your boat inspected outside of these dates you will need to please contact the club boating officer to make alternative arrangements.

You will need to first collect and pay for the applicable forms from the club office. You can then contact the boating officer directly to make arrangements.
