Boat Licences
You need a licence to paddle on the Thames (and on other UK waterways). The Club buys a number of licences each year for use with Club boats. Mike has bought the new licences for 2008 and has attached them to boats. If you are taking a club boat out do make sure it has a current licence. There is a hefty fine available if you fail to carry a lience!
