N.B. The Direct debit is activated in Year 2. It must accompany the Application to be reviewed by the General Committee otherwise the Application will be considered incomplete.

Safeguarding Notes:

N.B. Volunteers undertaking relevant roles in the regulated sector, e.g. schools, healthcare, nursing homes, childminders, are required by law to apply for Disclosures. There is currently no legal requirement for other private or voluntary organisations to ask their staff or volunteers to apply for Disclosures.

However, it is accepted as good practice and the Club has this procedure written into the Safeguarding Procedures. We therefore do ask members who, in their volunteer or instructing roles, meet the criteria, to undergo the Access NI disclosure process under the umbrella of the Sport Governing Body RYANI. Those whose frequency of regular contact with Children does meet the threshold may be asked to complete a Self Declaration. Download: Self Declaration form.

Data Privacy (GDPR)

In recent years the Membership form has looked to capture only the information we require to manage correspondence and ensure our Membership Listing is accurate.

Aligned to this is the method in which we manage and secure your data. We utilise a secure Database managed by Sailing Club Manager.

In the RTC Operating Procedures we have referred to the Data Protection Act and the best practice of data management. This is a requirement under legislation and aligned to the new GDPR law that came into force in May of 2018.

Please ensure your Membership Profile in the Club's online system: Sailing Club Manager (SCM) reflects your personal details. We do capture DOB as we require this to manage the membership types and fees.
