IF YOU HAVE NOT PADDLED WITH THE CLUB BEFORE YOU MUST JOIN A TASTER SESSION.

IF YOU WANT TO USE A STAND UP PADDLEBOARD (SUP) PLEASE REQUEST ONE BELOW:

Any member requiring to borrow kit please drop us a message letting us know what you need and also your build/height etc. so we can bring the correct kit.

You can add the info on the booking form or contact us before 6pm Friday on Facebook or send an email to: club secretary

Please ensure you arrive in time to be changed and kitted out and ready to get on the water for 9.30.

We have managed to secure storage for the container near the Navigation Inn with direct access to the canal. We have had to move kit around so the container could be moved.

Important: Parking is extremely limited at the new location. There is some limited parking available close to the container, however it is strongly advised to park on Broad Cut Road (where safe and legal to do so) and walk over the bridge. Parking is restricted at the Navigation Inn for non-patrons.

Spring Update

Hi everyone.

Just a quick update, for those that don’t know at the end of last year we had to very quickly find a new home for the container we had at the junction, Horbury Bridge.

We have managed to secure storage for the container near the Navigation Inn with direct access to the canal. We have had to move kit around so the container could be moved. We are in the process of moving and rearranging kit back into the container in its new location.

We are planning to start club sessions back on the 4th May and bookings will open shortly for this.

We are looking to have a Teams call in the coming weeks to plan the year ahead, if anyone would like to join in this discussion please drop us an email so we can add you to the call.
