———MERRY CHRISTMAS——

We would like to wish all our members a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Its been a great year with lots of activity within the club and lots of new faces throughout the summer. This year we have introduced Stand Up Paddleboarding and lots of members have tried this new paddlesport and really enjoyed it. The summer sessions were blessed with fantastic weather throughout the whole season drawing in many younger paddlers who will hopefully return next year.

Looking ahead to 2020 we could see more watersports appearing on Pugneys hopefully as Wakefield Council has put the watersports section out to tender and there has been interest from several companies so fingers crossed.

Next year should also see the final completion of Linton Whitewater course after many setbacks this year. We have had several tests at the course and even without the blocks etc. the course was good. This should allow us to offer members practice on whitewater at variable levels and also could provide a venue for a WYCC slalom event.

The committee would like to thank all members and participants for their continued support over the past year and we are all looking forward to an even better 2020.
