Want to have a go?

If you have never paddled before then the best thing to do is initially come to our club night and see what we get up to. If you like what you see you can book a boat by emailing the boat booking email address bookings@rugbycanoeclub.org.uk. Please let us know which evening you would like the boat for and let us know that you are a beginner. We will try to respond later that day but it may be a few days before it is answered.

During the summer months the club meets at Draycote Water on a Monday evening except Bank Holidays.

8 years of age is our official minimum age and club coaches reserve the right to decide as to who may paddle for all visitors and members.  Younger people can only join as family members where the adult members are experienced enough look after the child.

During the winter months the club meets at the Rugby  School Pool on a Friday evening. The nature of a pool session means that its much smaller and easier to manage so new potential members are welcome to come along any Friday. Numbers are limited for boats in the pool you may not get to paddle in your first week, but it does give you a chance to come and observe the club and see how we run things. While you are there you can talk to coaches and existing members who will help you book a boat and arrange your first session.

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.
