Welcome
Welcome to the Club's Web site.
We hope that you not only find it
useful but that you will actively contribute and let everyone know when you are paddling or organising a trip that
others might join.
Canoe and kayak sport is truly wonderful, as relaxing as you wish or as
challenging as any extreme sport can be. Whatever your interests,
they can probably be encompassed, be it just chilling out on the river on a
balmy summers evening or striving to represent your country - perhaps at
the London Olympics. Yes we do have athletes working on that plan as well
as paddlers who prefer surf or sea canoeing and those that just tour.
Paddle sport is growing fast, so fast in fact that it's a struggle to
provide the introductory courses we need to. Sign up early please but don’t
be put off if you have to wait.
If you
are already a paddler and would like to help with coaching we can support
your development at the Club with allocation of a mentor and qualification
costs re-imbursement. If you are a competition paddler then do get in touch
with the appropriate committee member for Marathon, Sprint or White Water
or better still come along on a Wednesday evening to paddle at 6.00 or to
join the Club evening at 8.00 (during the summer).
It can seem a very busy Club and initially it may be a little bit daunting
to try to get to know everyone but it really is a very friendly place and
we will give you the warmest welcome we possibly can, if you get stuck in
any way let me know and I will do my best to help.
Stuart West,
Chairman,
Worcester Canoe Club.
