How to Affiliate
Clubs affiliate for a one year period from your start date and must be renewed annually to maintain continuous insurance cover.
To carry the logo and reputation of Paddle Northern Ireland your club will need to be a membership organisation that is properly constituted, has a club bank account, and has policies in place covering safeguarding and safe operating procedures.
If you’re thinking about becoming an Affiliated Club and would like some support please contact one of our Team.
Affiliated Member
Any member of your club who is not a Paddle Northern Ireland Full or Recreational member is required to hold Affiliated membership.
Club Activity
Club Activity is defined as any activity that has been assessed as part of the club's safety framework and promoted on the club calendar, website/online or noticeboard. Club activities also include inter-club activities where the responsibility for risk assessment and management is carried out and shared between all participating clubs. Affiliated members are only insured for Club Activity.
Club Data
Clubs will also need a Data Privacy Policy to agree with their members, this needs to give the club the ability to share member information with Paddle Northern Ireland for the purposes of running the sport, insurance and tracking member qualifications.
