Joining

New members are welcome.  Come and see us on a club night - you're welcome to join in for a session before you decide to join the club.

To become a member or to renew existing membership, please complete the online membership form and arrange for fee payment as indicated on the form.  This is best done by BACS  (Sort Code: 60-07-34; A/C#: 10775153) although we do still accept cash or cheques to the treasurer or other committee members.

We do not offer formal teaching, but we have many experienced canoeists and kayakers in our club who are often willing to help less experienced members.

Children are welcome, but only if accompanied on the water by a responsible adult.
