Before you join

Adult beginners: Beginners should contact the chair before applying or booking a course. The latest public form covers 2025/26 and lists adult membership at £50. The site shows a completed 2025 Discover course but no 2026 beginner dates, so ask about the next opening.
Junior paddlers: The latest public form lists under-18 membership at £30 and family membership at £75. A parent or guardian must sign for a junior. Informal sessions are unsuitable unless a competent paddling adult supervises the young paddler.
Equipment: The club has a long-term equipment-loan form for members covering boats, paddles, spraydecks, buoyancy aids and helmets. It does not publish stock levels or promise course kit or first-visit loans. Ask what is available before attending.
Accessibility: The club has an equality policy and asks members to disclose support needs. Its induction mentions changing, toilets and parking but gives no step-free routes, transfer help or adapted-craft details. Discuss practical access with the club before applying.
Where the club paddles: Wednesday harbour sessions usually run from April to September, with winter pool practice and occasional trips elsewhere. The club does not publish an exact clubhouse or launch point. Its induction covers tidal hazards and restricted areas, so the map shows the harbour without a marker.
