Paddlesport Challenge – runners up!

A team of juniors has been taking part in the BCU south Paddlesport Challenge.  This series of ten events were designed to improve skills, build team spirit and most importantly to keep juniors paddling over the winter months.  There were ten events this year including canoe polo, dragon boating, K1’s and K4’s and Slalom.  The series finale was on June 28th at the Pangbourne Regatta – Wokingham won that event and went on to be runners up in the whole series, being beaten into second place by Pangbourne.  Blackwater Valley finished third.

The team were presented with a trophy  (which is on display in the cabinet), individual medals and will also receive  £100 prize money.

A big WELL DONE to our team:  Jamie Boyt, Joe and Jack Foster, Magnus Gregory, Sara and Hafsa Kabeer, Marie and Remi Lucas, Edward Pearson, Ben Rollinson and Aaron Thompson
