Post by Tharlow »

Meridian Canoe club is pleased to be ble to offer, 3 days of Kayaking-related skills development. On the 8th, 9th and 15th of September. Please note this course is targeted at adults but under 16s will also be welcome on the course providing they are accompanied by an adult either taking part in the course or staying on site while the course is taking place.

The first of the two days of the course will be at Danson Park on the lake, the home of Meridian Canoe Club with the third day being a trip on the Medway. The course is aimed at developing the skills of any potential members prior to them joining the club. It is hoped by the end of the course the attendees will have attained the BCU Paddlesport ‘1 star award’. If you already have your 1 star then we will work with you to refine the skills you have previously learnt to become a more efficient paddler.

At the end of the first two days of the course, attendees will be in a position to consider joining Meridian canoe Club to practice the skills they have gained on the course. For further information please email enquiries@meridiancanoeclub.com.

This 2 Star course will run on the 29th September and 20th October, and it is expected that course attendees will take advantage of their club membership to practice what they have learnt on the course.

I have been trying to get hold of Mark the last couple of days, be he doesn't really answer txt messages. What i'm after is the email he sent out about the 1* river trip tomorrow. He did send it to me but my work firewall bounced it back, Is there any chance of anyone forwarding it onto me at simon.ewbank@virgin.net
