Welcome to the November Newsletter.
 
There has been two trips this month, on the Trent and Soar, both trips were well attended, including  a few new faces which is always good. For the newer members who will be paddling over the colder months, there is a good article on the members area of the website about  winter paddling kit, it is well worth a look, all members should be able to log on now. If you’re having problems please tell us. The pool sessions have been fully booked and we are planning on doing another block starting February next year.

We have had some great news for the club, we have now achieved Sport England  “Clubmark” accreditation. This shows that HCC are doing everything correctly and too a good standard this will help us in the future to build the club. I would like to thank Hayley Clarke for all the time and work she has put in to help us achieve this.

Christmas will be here before we know it, there are still a few places left on our annual Christmas weekend away to Crickhowell, if anyone wants to make a late booking?  Don’t forget the local  paddle on 22nd December (if only for the coffee and cake).

It seems a long way off but the AGM is on 7th February at Stanton Lakes which is our new home waters. A committee nomination form can be downloaded here. This is your club and it doesn’t run itself, so if anyone would like to join us on the committee it would be good, so please get your nomination forms in to any committee member. If you are nominating somebody else please ask them first.

To help us put more river trips on for you guys, we need more trip leaders, so if any suitably qualified/experienced paddlers would like to help out please let us know.

See you on the water - Dave Clarke.
