Team Leader Registration
for Summer Series 2021
Competitors usually race as part of a team with a named Team Leader appointed by their club. Each Team Leader must register at or before the first regatta attended. By registering you agree to take on certain responsibilities for your team. Independent paddlers (or their parents/guardians if the paddler is under 18) take on these responsibilities with respect to themselves.
Privacy: We will process the information you give us about yourself and your team members on the basis of our legitimate interest as the coordinators of this race series. See the Privacy page for more details. Please contact the Secretary with any concerns.
You can register in either of two ways:
- using the online forms below (your information will be transmitted to FRA by Weebly, who will also record your IP address)
- download a PDF equivalent, print out & email back as a photo/scan
Left your registration to the last minute? Download a form and bring it with you to the regatta, together with BC cards if required.

Online Registration
By registering as a Team Leader (or Independent Paddler) you are agreeing that you will:
- Read and abide by the Series Rules. Attend the Event Briefing and endeavour to ensure your team members understand and follow the instructions.
- Satisfy yourself that your team members understand race behaviour and safety procedures, and are competent and fit to participate under the prevailing local conditions. Where necessary, you will ensure that additional precautions (e.g. wearing a PFD) are taken, and will alert the Race Organiser to any special safety concerns.
- Ensure that each member of your team is covered by £5 million public liability insurance. (For official teams from British-Canoeing-Affiliated clubs, membership of your club is sufficient.)
- Ensure that your club’s documentation gives you authority to pass race entry details of your team members to the FRA, and that they have been told that race results and photos from the event will be published but that they have the right to object. Alert the FRA to any known objections.
- Send details of new entries in advance, or book them in personally at the first race they attend.
- Liaise with the Race Organiser to resolve any protests, as described in the Rules.
- Ensure that all of your team's race boards are returned to the booking desk at the end of each regatta.
- Arrange a competent adult to stand in as Acting Team Leader if you are unable to be present with your team at any race – the substitute will identify themselves at the booking-in desk on the day.
By completing my details below I agree to take on the responsibilities detailed above. I understand that these details will be held by the FRA Secretary for the sole purpose of administering the participation of my team in this series, and my name and contact details may be shared with Race Organisers and with other appropriate race staff on the day.

What happens next?
When we receive your registration, we will send you an entry form in Word that you can use to enter your team before each race. You only need to send full details for new team members; for those entering their second or subsequent regatta of the series, just their name is enough (unless they switch between kayak and canoe). Please let your team members know whether you will be booking them in and paying for them en bloc or whether they should each come individually to the booking in desk to pay. |
Don't forget to email a photo of your BC card now to secretary@FlatwaterRacing.org.uk, or you will have to show it at the regatta or else purchase an Event Ticket
What happens next?
Come to the booking in desk and pay on the day. For subsequent regattas, you can just turn up on the day, but it helps if you email to let us know you are coming. |
