We are an affiliated club of Paddle Scotland (formerly the Scottish Canoe Association), and follow all relevant Paddle Scotland policy and procedures. Paid up club members will be registers as affiliates of Paddle Scotland which will provide liability insurance to the member during any club activities. Members may upgrade to a full Paddle Scotland (or other affiliated UK paddling organisations) membership to extend this liability insurance to their own paddling activities outside of the club.

The club is organised as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), run by a board of volunteers and is a registered charity in Scotland. All Board members are Trustees of the charity. 

The AGM is held in April when all Board positions are elected. The elected Board members will decide on their roles after the AGM, requiring to name a Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, Child Protection Officer and Safety Officer. Other non Board members may hold some roles in the club also.
