Saturday 3rd July

Events for this weekend have been added to the Calendar

This week we are running ALL sessions on the river including tasters sessions. If anyone specifically wants to paddle on Pugney’s please let us know and we will see if we can organise a session there also.

There is very little rain forecast this week so the river will be at the normal level.

Last week some of our youngsters (and not so youngsters) decided they wanted to have a slide down the weir – as you can see from the photo’s below it was no fun at all.

We did actually do some kayaking as well!

Morning river session:

10.00 – 12.00pm         

10.00 – 12.00pm Taster session

Afternoon River session:

1.00 – 3.00pm

1.00 – 3.00pm Taster session

If the sessions become full we will add a further sessions.

If anyone is feeling brave the river is quite low and slow flowing so would be suitable for paddle boarding if any members have a board and want to give it a try on the river.         

The café at the river is open now until 9 – 1pm so if you want a sandwich you can grab a butty before getting on the water.

The cost for borrowing equipment is £10.00 per person for any session and tasters sessions are £15 per person.  

Anyone who has not paddled with the club before MUST complete a taster session before joining regular sessions, this allows us to assess any new members and run over club safety procedure’s etc. Taster sessions can also be booked on the website .

PLEASE can all participants bear in mind there is still a high risk of Covid infection and while we are allowed a larger number of people on the water social distancing must remain in place off the water. Please ensure when coming along to sessions you do not socialise with other members while sorting out kit etc. and once you have picked up your kit move away from the trailer area and sort out your kit with your family members or bubble.

New Location

Good afternoon members, we promised you some exciting news and here it is – our second permanent location.

Today we took delivery of this container, it is located on a small car park on the right just before the security hut at our river location. The container was donated by Mad Paddlers who unfortunately had to close their club at Hemsworth Water park. The container is well stocked with different types of kayaks and equipment which will enable us to run larger sessions on the river as well as evening sessions.

The car park is owned by The Junction and Coffee Stop Café in the main car park and they have kindly allowed us to put our container on there and use the car park.

This is fantastic news for our club allowing us to offer more sessions without having to transport boats and kit around for each session.

Massive thanks to John and Emma from Mad Paddlers for donating the container and contents, also another massive thanks to Helen and the gang at The Coffee Stop – I’m sure you will all show your appreciation by using the café during the sessions.

In the next few weeks we will tidy up the car park as well as organise a river clean up around the area we paddle.

We hope you will all enjoy this new facility and hopefully this is a further step in our club progression.

Once again a big Thank You to all involved.
