This Saturday, April 26th, we’re excited to be heading back to the River Calder for our initial open water session of the season. We’ll be releasing our full session calendar soon, which will see us alternating between these river paddles and our regular pool sessions every two weeks.

If you’re keen to join us for our first river outing, you can book your spot online for the Horbury River Paddle right here:

Just a little note that our usual pool session at Minsthorpe Leisure Centre was cancelled due to the bank holiday. However, we’ll be back in the pool as normal on May 2nd. You can book your place for that session online too!

The trustees of West Yorkshire Canoe Club (Charitable Incorportated Orgsnisation) would like to invite all members to an annual general meeting of the charity to discuss the previous year and plans for the future.

This is an important event that will review the performance of and determine the direction of the club, the priorities for the coming year, and selecting the committee members and trustees who will run your club for the next year. We would urge as many members as possible to attend the AGM and have your say.
