Saturday 27th April, 10am onwards – Barn Spring Clean.  All hands welcome, even if you can only spare half an hour.  The Barn has suffered over the last year while we have concentrated on the new cabin.  It’s desperately in need of a spruce up.  We’d also like to clear as much space on the right hand side of the barn so that we can install some cushion matting and a bit of a gym.  Strategically planned for after the usual hare and hounds.  Contact:  Bill Hansell

Saturday 27 April, 10am – B3C Elimination Race.  We’ve all seen the cyclists do it, where the final racer at the end of each lap is eliminated!  The B3C race will have a shorter course for GP/Tourer and a longer course for racers, but all on the water at the same time in the same event.  This event is free, with tea and toast in the clubhouse after. More details to follow. Again book online at Eventbrite.  Contact:  Pina Napolitano

First Saturday of the month from March 2020.

An introduction to forms of Kayaking (and potentially Canoeing).  Sessions will include getting on and off the water safely, moving the boat in a straight line and lots of games.  The aim is to give you a introduction to the sport using the British Canoeing Start award (see https://www.britishcanoeingawarding.org.uk/new-personal-performance-awards/ for details) giving you a good overview of the sport. Sessions will be approximately 45 minutes on the water.  When you register, we’ll email you with further details.

FAQs

What can I bring into the event?

You need to bring suitable clothing for the day.  You should wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet and old trainers (or wetsuit boots).  The club will provide you with all other kit.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, just tell the organiser your name when you arrive.

Is it ok if the name on my ticket or registration doesn’t match the person who attends?

Yes, as long as you provide us with their details.

If I like canoeing / kayaking at the end of the course, can I join the club?

Of course! and to encourage you to join we’ll even subject the course fee from your first years membership!
