Resposibility for Rowing licensing

The request was successful.

Dear Canal & River Trust,

Please provide me with the information
Who had responsibility for rowing boat licensing, including rowing clubs and boat clubs in the Boating Trade Team from its formation to the present day?

Yours faithfully,

Information Request, Canal & River Trust

Dear Mr Mason,

Thank you for your request for information which we received last Friday.

Although your e-mail is not a request for recorded information I can confirm that the responsibility for all business licensing which includes rowing clubs rests with the Boating Trade Team. This was formed as a result of a companywide restructure in November 2009. Phil Spencer was appointed as the manager of that Team on its formation and he reported to Sally Ash who was Head of Boating. She in turn reported to the Marketing and Communications Director. You also mentions Boat Clubs – in general terms, although we have a number of boat clubs who have leases and licences with us for stretches of moorings, in most cases boats on these moorings will have a standard private licence. We are responsible just for the property interest in these cases.

From December 2011 the Boating Trade Team moved into the Property Directorate and Phil Spencer, now Head of Business Boating, reports directly to the Property Director. We have started a dialogue with rowing's governing body to ensure that all rowing activities are properly and consistently licenced across the whole of the Trusts waterways. This is being led by Susie Mercer who reports to Phil Spencer. As we have previously offered she would be happy to discuss this with you, I have already given you her contact details.

Kind regards,
