Before you join

Adult beginners: The club publishes monthly Sunday paddles, winter Friday pool sessions and summer Wednesday evenings. Its registration route helps the club place a newcomer on a suitable paddle, paid taster or introductory course. The current page lists annual membership for the 2026 calendar year. Register before attending.
Junior paddlers: The club information page welcomes families and young paddlers, but it gives no entry age, required swimming ability, adult-supervision expectations or regular junior programme. A parent or carer should ask what is currently available before registering a child.
Equipment: During a member's first year, club borrowing covers a canoe or kayak plus a paddle, helmet, buoyancy aid, spraydeck and cag. The club publishes a small flat hire fee for returning members. Ask whether the right craft and sizes are free for the intended session.
Accessibility: No access guide is available for the club's pools, farm sessions or trip locations. Details still needed include level access, changing and toilet provision, help into a craft, adapted equipment and personal support. Describe the support required when registering so the relevant venue can be checked.
Where the club paddles: Summer Wednesday sessions use Bearstone Fruit Farm near Market Drayton. Friday pool sessions run seasonally, and the last-Sunday paddle changes destination. The mapped postcode is therefore a useful area reference, not a permanent clubhouse or guaranteed meeting point.
