About the event
We run regular club sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday during the season. Tuesdays seem to be busier than Thursdays. Clubs nights are mainly an opportunity to paddle together but, to use an analogy, they are more like a casual football kickabout than a sports fixture night.
Keep an eye on the Facebook pages or website calendar for advertised social paddles/coaching sessions. Unless these are taking place there's no-one who "takes charge" of a club session. As a new member, aim to arrive promptly. By 6.15/6.20 those who are paddling together will have geared up and departed up or down the river. It's safer and more sociable to paddle in groups, so please don't be afraid to introduce yourself and ask if you can tag along. Very occasionally members have a particular purpose in paddling as a pair - but mostly those who are around at the same time will paddle off in mixed craft, mixed ability groups. Sometimes, to be honest, you can turn up when there's no-one around. If that happens, don't be discouraged.
