Before you join
- Adult beginners
Beginners and experienced paddlers can ask about a taster, weekly session or Paddle UK skills course. Attendance is pre-booked, and the current calendar should be checked before setting out.
- Junior paddlers
The club describes a family setting and current slalom paddlers from age 11 upwards. Under-18 details are recorded on the activity form, but no single supervision policy covers every session.
- Equipment
Beginners can use club boats and core paddling equipment, including a buoyancy aid, helmet and spray deck when required. Bring light non-cotton clothing and snug footwear with a soft sole. Club equipment is not hired to the general public.
- Accessibility
The national listing records toilets. No current step-free route, assisted water entry or adapted-equipment guide is published, so discuss the exact activity and support needed before booking.
- Where the club paddles
Core sessions are listed on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday, with evening sessions limited to April through September. The live calendar also carries slalom training and away events, so times and locations can vary.
