Before you join

Adult beginners: A public club post from July 2026 confirms that C3 Paddlers is active, but no current membership fee, taster price or regular timetable is published outside Facebook. Use the page or email c3paddlers@gmail.com to ask about the next suitable session before attending.
Junior paddlers: Paddle UK's listing mentions junior activity and describes the club as family-friendly. It does not state ages, supervision ratios, booking rules or current spaces. The older club site describes safeguarding arrangements, but those names and procedures are not treated as current. A parent should confirm today's process directly.
Equipment: An indexed club post offered all equipment for one women-only programme. That does not prove a general loan service for every session. The directory confirms equipment storage but does not list available boats, paddles, flotation gear or clothing, so ask what to bring.
Accessibility: The national directory labels disability paddling but does not explain routes into the building or water, changing provision, transfer assistance, suitable boats or personal support. The venue marker cannot answer those questions. Contact the club about the exact session and help required.
Where the club paddles: C3 is based at Portadown Boat Club beside the River Bann. The national directory gives BT62 3TN, while Facebook and OpenStreetMap show nearby variants. The map uses the boathouse position rather than guessing an entrance. Confirm the live meeting point and water conditions with the club.
