Association of Dart River Users Clubs

Dart Harbour is obliged to consult with “stakeholder groups” about its management of the harbour and for some years the recreational users of the river were represented by the Leisure Users Group. This became defunct and a new body has been formed  –  the Association of Dart River Users Clubs (ADRUC).

The ADRUC is now recognised by Dart Harbour and consists of representatives of (starting from upstream) Totnes Boating Association, SGBA, Dittisham Sailing Club, Dartmouth Yacht Club and the Royal Dart Yacht Club.  Neil Millward is the SGBA representative and attended the first meeting with the Harbour Board on 27 September 2010;  the Harbour Master and the Vice Chairman represented the DHNA. A report of this meeting has been circulated to members.

If you have any questions or would like to submit an issue for discussion at ADRUC please speak to Neil Millward.

Joining the SGBA is a brilliant way of getting on the water. You can join as an individual, couple or family.

Club facilities are allocated annually at the beginning of the year, but members can register interest at any time.

Members can use the club canoes, sailing and rowing boats at any time. You will need to apply for a key from Bill Carr on 01803 782839. If you wish to use the motor boat, you must book online.

The club has a busy social calendar on and off the water. Members are invited to attend events and volunteer to help if they can.
