Come and try it
If you have never paddled before then the best thing to do is initially come to our club night and see what we get upto. If you like what you see you can book a boat via Wendy Sargent, who will inform you when there will be one available for you to paddle.
If you wish to have a go, Potential / New Members are inducted on the first Monday of each month - this allows us to provide the coaching you need as new member, gives you a peer group of other beginners to progress with and makes it easier for us to manage things. Please note that you will not be able to paddle before this.
If you want to come along to the junior session on a Tuesday evening, please be aware that the minimum age is 8 years old and club coaches reserve the right as to who may paddle.
When you arrive for your paddling our BCU trained coaches will explain the basics to you, sort you out with all the required equipment and get you on the water.
As a club we encourage you to come along and try it for three sessions, then if you decide you are enjoying it we request that you join the club and we discuss membership with you.
If you have a question that you have not had answered by our web site, please contact Kevin Roberts by e mail, go to the Contact page and then click on Club Chairman or click Coaching for Chris Fawcett.
