Before you join

Adult beginners: The club welcomes beginners, visitors and experienced paddlers. Email is used to add people to Spond, and temporary membership can cover trial sessions. Sea and river groups usually paddle on Sundays, with Wednesday evenings in summer, winter pool sessions and condition-dependent trips through the year.
Junior paddlers: The national listing includes junior and family activity, but current club information gives no minimum age, swimming requirement, supervision ratio or separate junior timetable. Parents should ask which coached session is suitable and what consent is required before attending.
Equipment: Beginners can borrow the equipment needed for a session, including a wetsuit. The club also says it can lend helmets and other paddling kit, while participants provide suitable under-layers and wet footwear. Availability, sizing and whether a wetsuit, cag or drysuit is right must be confirmed for each activity.
Accessibility: The directory marks the club as offering accessible sessions and lists changing, toilets, showers and parking. Current club information gives no detailed access route, transfer method, adapted craft or available support for each tide and venue. Describe the paddler's needs when arranging a trial so the club can assess the session.
Where the club paddles: Coquet Shorebase on The Braid supports sheltered water, river skills, sea practice and shared facilities. Sunday times follow the tide. Summer sessions may use Ladyburn Lake, while winter river runs and coastal trips start elsewhere. Spond and club messages provide the final meeting details.
