Craft booking for PMSC members only

The club has two kayaks and a canoe that are available for members to use. For 2021, there will be no charge for using the craft, as a little thank you from the club for your support and understanding during the pandemic!

We do ask that you use the booking system to book the craft, as this only allows a single booking for a slot, so you will not be disappointed and find someone already out in it (or shouting from the bank "come in number 101 - your time is up!)

Info

Please read the Craft booking procedure, and Craft safety instructions

Craft booking procedure

To book 1 (or more) craft:

Select the craft you wish to book.
Click on "Booking date" and chose the date you wish to book.
Each day is split into morning or afternoon slots, so select the slot you wish to book.
Select the booking time that is available for that slot - either 09:00AM or 01:00PM will be available, depending on morning or afternoon booking.

NOTE: If the "Booking time" is greyed out / will not let you select it, that means the time slot is already booked, so please choose a different craft / slot / day.
Ignore "Booking minutes" - (it is just there because the software requires it!)
Click on "Add to cart".
Click on "Show Cart".
Select shipment method "Hire from club".
Select payment method "Craft Hire - No Charge" (It is not possible to have zero cost items in the booking system, so a nominal 10p cost is shown, but not charged).
TERMS OF SERVICE: Click the link to read the SAFETY DOCUMENTS. Once read and digested, tick the "Terms of Service" checkbox.
Click on "Check Out Now".
Enter your personal details (All items with a star * are required fields).
Click on "Save".
Click on "Confirm Purchase".

You will receive an email with an "invoice" attachment. In the invoice, under "SKU" you will find the code to unlock your craft, and the code to the backstore.

Enjoy yourself!

Craft safety instructions

The craft can be taken out at any state of the tide, and there are 2 trolleys to assist launching them from the jetty or from the Grindle (Don't forget - if the tide is coming in, you must take the trolley back, if not, it will be underwater when you return!). To check the tide times for today and the next 7 days click here.

Buoyancy aids to be worn.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Please treat the craft respectfully, for all members to use, and consider the tides before taking a craft out.

Paddles, seats for the kayaks/canoe are kept along with the buoyancy aids and first aid kit in the back store. When you make a booking, the back store lock code and the lock code for the craft, will be found under "SKU" on the booking confirmation email.

When placing your booking, if the "Booking time" appears greyed out / unable to be selected, that means someone has already booked that craft for that day / time, so try one of the others!

Please return wet equipment and hang on the coat stand and put paddles back from where they came, and securely lock the craft.

Please use the covid sanitiser spray/wipes provided.
