Before you join

Adult beginners: Request a membership form from the membership secretary. Joining requires club training or an existing recognised paddling award, followed by a coach session for applicants outside a course. The displayed June and July 2026 beginner dates are past. Ask about the next intake rather than treating those dates as open bookings.
Junior paddlers: The constitution includes two adults and up to two children in family membership. The membership webpage describes that category as two adults at the same address. Confirm how a child can join and take part before applying. No minimum junior age or supervision arrangement is established by those sources.
Equipment: Courses and club trips provide a boat, paddle, spraydeck, buoyancy aid and helmet. Bring your own clothing and footwear. The FAQ does not offer public boat storage; storage is reserved for coaches.
Accessibility: The FAQ says the club can accommodate some disabilities, but cannot provide sessions requiring one-to-one care. Membership remains subject to individual and group safety. Discuss your requirements before enrolment. No reviewed source establishes an adapted launch or transfer equipment.
Where the club paddles: The contact page places the club at the 22nd Oxford Sea Scouts, Meadow Lane off Donnington Bridge, Oxford OX4 4BJ. Its map identifies the club area, not a confirmed gate or launch entrance. Obtain arrival instructions for your session.
