After a long wait the new years trips and events programme has been decided, so here to a good 2008 and some great paddling.
Further information on individual trips will appear on the site when their details have been worked out ^_^
Summer now seems a distant memory, its time to think about cold weather paddling and how to stay comfortably and warm and enjoy yourself.

It has been drawn to the attention of the Canoe Club Committee that members are not wearing Buoyancy aids and Crash Helmets when paddling in or around the Weirs. Members are reminded of the danger.
Please find below an extract from the BCU Health
Where “white water” or the shooting of weirs, is involved: the wearing of buoyancy aids and crash helmets is mandatory for slalom and wild water racing, and should be strongly advised for other events where an obvious risk is present.
Participation should be limited to those who declare themselves competent to handle the conditions, taking into account the type and amount of safety cover it is practical to provide at sites of particular difficulty.
