Hi all
Well it’s been very busy, as always, since my last report. We have had lots of trips of different types which have all been well attended and all good fun.

The winter pool sessions were very busy, it was great to see so many members progress with rolling and general paddling skills.

The lake sessions have already started and the first lot of star courses are now in progress, along with paddle power, family paddling, beginners and improver’s groups and social paddling.

We now have the third container in use at the lake, this is great and has given us a lot more storage space this year. As soon as it is properly sited, we will be racking it out and hopefully creating a bit more outside racking as well.

We now have 3 new UKCC level 1 coaches in the club, well done to Wendy Kendell, Aylwyn Barton and Phil Riley. During April there have also been four 3 star weekend courses/assessments, 2 WW kayak, 1 open canoe, and 1 touring (canoe and kayak). Everyone who completed the course’s passed. We had 2 have to drop out due to injury, so hope you 2 are on the mend. Well done to all you new 3 star paddlers and well deserved.

As always keep your eyes on the website calendar and facebook page for all the trips and events. We have plenty to keep everyone busy and now you can book them online too!

If you are not aware, it is membership renewal time, all the info is on the website, please ask if you need any help.

See you on the water

Dave
