Format:

  • Open to all members, young and old (we ask that under 18s are accompanied on the water by a responsible adult).
  • Any and all craft are welcome, as long as they are propelled by a paddle – canoes, kayaks, paddleboards and rowing boats!
  • These evenings are for members to enjoy a relaxed paddle on the river for about 45m – 1 hour.
  • They provide an excellent opportunity to ask questions and improve your technique under the guidance of more experienced paddlers.
  • Please come dressed ready to paddle if possible as this will allow you to get afloat sooner.
  • The clubhouse and bar will be open after the session for paddlers and spectators to dry out, warm up and socialise.
  • To help us gauge interest in these sessions please email Stu Risebrow, Paul Banjo or the Sailing Secretary (Paul Belton).

The framework of the rack is now complete and is awaiting the heavy-duty tarpaulin roof. Over two-thirds of the spaces have been filled but there is still room for a few more craft. Please apply to the Hon Secretary if you wish to bring your kayak to the club and liaise with the Membership Secretary to pay for storage.
