Saturday 29th August – Return to Pugneys!

Events for this weekend have been added to the calendar. Due to the high amount of rainfall, the Rivers are not suitable for our regular Saturday sessions. However, as restrictions have been partially lifted at Pugneys Country Park Lake, we are able to run sessions at our usual home.

Sessions are being run but with limited numbers per session. To assist with social distancing measures, we will be running small sessions of no more than 5 people (in line with guidance from British Canoeing) and setting off in half hourly intervals. There are 5 two hour sessions on the calendar this week starting from 10am to 12pm .

Changing rooms within the main building are not presently available, so please arrive at the session prepared as best as possible and prepared to change at your car / outside. For current up-to-date information about current amenities at pugneys, see the page below:

Depending on the wishes of the group and the weather, we can either paddle around the lake or stay in the sheltered area.

Costs for borrowing equipment are £8.00 per person as there is a charge the club have to pay to Pugneys for each paddler on the lake.

We will run another session tomorrow Saturday 11th July. Unfortunatley after all the rain this week the rivers will be too high so we will have to paddle on the canal. We will check later this evening where is the best place to meet and will update early tomorrow on Facebook.

We are just trialling our new booking system this week so please register for our session tomorrow if you plan to come along – you can also pay online or pay by card tomorrow. Please give this a try as it will enable us to manage the sessions better.

We will also set up a Facebook Group with paddlers who are coming along tomorrow so we can update you if needed. Some have asked for a Whatsapp Group also so we can look at setting this up as well.

Please message us on Facebook or e mail: to club secretary to let us know what kit you requie.
