Prospective members are welcome to join us for an introduction event (at a one-off cost of £10). Following completion of this event, you will be able to continue with the club on a 30 day free membership to see if you like what we do (session fees, as below apply). If you wish to continue paddling with us on any further events after this trail, you will be asked to join us as an adult, junior or family membership.
Each session/event has a fee which is required before the events attendance. Club events are organised and communicated via our members portal and email.

Trip fees
There is no club charge for trips, if however you need to borrow any kit then there will be a kit fee of £5, depending on the trip there may be additional fees such as parking and if on Waterways such as canals then you may need a permit if you’re not a British Canoeing Member or waterways license holder, the events coordinator will be able to advise accordingly.
Our events calendar can be viewed in our Members area and it is important that the email address you provide on the registration system is checked regularly because we advertise all our events through email (Event notification opt-in is required). We also have a public Facebook group where we post general club information. In addition, we have a private Facebook Group that our members can become a member of once they are an annual member, which we share more details on events, trips and club activities. We also allow parents of junior members to join this private group. Peer group events are advertised there and reminders about club events that have been advertised via email are also commonly seen.
