The forum is being held by the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, will be starting at 19:00 on Wednesday 3rd March at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre, the address and directions are available on this link http://www.leevalleypark.org.uk/en/content/cms/leisure/activities_and_sport/athletics_centre/athletics_centre.aspx .

It is important that you attend if you wish to know and have input about what you would like from the new centre.

Various rumours have been circulating that it has been cancelled, it has not. The Park need to know a rough figure of attendance, and this has been misinterpreted.

FREE After School Courses

E-mail Print PDF

Bexley Council is working in partnership with Meridian Canoe Club to provide a free introduction to canoeing/kayaking through the Canoe England Paddle Power Scheme.

Paddle Power is a new initiative designed by the Canoe England to encourage more young people into the sport. By using the progressive attainment of paddling skills, goals are more achievable and continual development is encouraged.

The initial course, which is completely free, is planned to cover the first two modules of the paddle power scheme; “PADDLEPOWER START” and “PADDLEPOWER PASSPORT”. The course is designed to fit into a typical half-term timescale. Completing the course successfully will probably take in the region of 5-6 sessions, each lasting 1.5 - 2 hours. Sessions will run after school times during weekdays. Details of course dates are provided below.

Depending on interest we may run a follow on course, also free of charge, to cover the third module of the paddle power scheme “PADDLEPOWER DISCOVERY”. Again, the course is designed to fit into a typical half-term timescale through the winter.

The purpose of the sessions will be to assist paddlers to develop their skills, and improve the efficiency of their paddling technique, while progressing through the paddle power scheme and possibly in preparation for them to enter local competitive paddling.

There will be opportunities for the novice paddler to meet and train with some of the top competitive canoeists in the United Kingdom. It is envisioned that in time, that the novice paddlers may choose to either start paddling with Danson park water sports centre, or possibly the new paddlers would consider becoming members of Meridian Canoe Club who will be running the courses at Danson Park.
