CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 2016

Wow. What a busy year it’s been. Since this time last year HCC has grown by 31%, from 117 to 153 members, we have had more river trips, weekends away, events and coaching than ever before.

Last year we have had some great site and equipment improvement’s, and hopefully even more in the coming year.

Also we have seen quite a bit of diversity in the club, including, stand up paddle boarding, sea kayaking, kayak surfing and its great so see open canoeing getting a lot more popular. We have seen the introduction of the HCC Hammerheads polo team to the club. This is going really well and hopefully will continue to grow.

For all the committee members, trip leaders and coaches, it really is great, to see all the members being so keen and getting involved in everything offered to them. As we all know enthusiasm will help the club grow even more.

Lastly and most importantly, I’d like to say a really big thank you to all the committee, the coaches, the trip leaders and the helpers, who have put so much work in over the year to make it such a fun, busy and successful year for everyone.
