Anti Social Behaviour

Sadly there are some people about who have decided to throw stones at paddlers.
If this happens to you please call the Police on 999 as soon as possible, it is an assault. If you see some bad behaviour that you feel doesn't merit Police involvement then call the Canal Centre on 01252 370073 (Office hours) or 078944 425588 (Out of office hours).
Stay safe, your first priority is yourself and the group you are paddling with.

Important Notice...
The barrier to the field is now open 9am to 4pm on weekdays only.

Canoe club members will have to use the BCCC key in the barn to open the barrier at weekends. Members can also buy their own copy of the barrier key from BCA. Please lock the barrier immediately after use. The Canal Authority have had trouble with dog walkers who drive in then can't get out again especially at weekends.
If problems with the barrier continue then there will be no vehicle access to the field.

General Information

The BCCC is a family club which aims to introduce parents and children to canoeing. The club was formed in 1979 and is affiliated to the British Canoe Union. The club celebrated it's 25th anniversary during 2004 and is one of the largest and most diverse canoeing clubs in southern England.

Check out our newsletter archive to find out what we get up to.

Whilst many clubs specialise in a specific discipline of the sport, we here at the BCCC cater for a wide range of canoeing activities including flat water racing, slalom, touring, white water and sea canoeing. To help encourage newcomers to the club, and existing members broaden their canoeing experience, the club owns a range of both general purpose and specialist boats available to all to use/try/borrow.

Our regular club evening is Tuesdays, from 6:30pm until dusk, at the Basingstoke Canal Centre, Mytchett, Surrey. Here's a if you need one.

Besides our summer-time Tuesday evenings, the club hires a swimming pool at RAF Odiham, every other Sunday evening. You can find all the details on our pool page.

We also organise various trips throughout the year, visiting different kinds of water - fast flowing rivers, weirs, the seaside and other venues, both in the UK and France. Some trips involve camping.
