Before you join
- Adult beginners
Contact the committee to arrange a taster; no paddling experience is needed. Up to two paid tasters are available before membership is required. Annual membership is purchased through the club's Spond group. The constitution allows ages 18 and above, but the homepage and safeguarding policy say over 18. Confirm eligibility if you are 18. Northumbria University's kayaking society is a separate joining route, not the club's general membership.
- Junior paddlers
The reviewed owner material describes adult-only membership. Its safeguarding policy discusses children who may be nearby at events, not a junior joining route.
- Equipment
Members pay for kit hire separately from membership. The joining page lists a kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, helmet, cag and spraydeck. Tasters include the required equipment. Personal borrowing outside official club activities needs advance committee permission. Confirm availability and what clothing to bring.
- Accessibility
Not confirmed in the sources checked. Ask the club directly.
- Where the club paddles
The owner describes winter pool sessions and summer outdoor tasters. Polo training runs on Tuesday evenings in summer and weekends in winter. The reviewed pages do not establish a fixed meeting address. Ask the committee for the next date and arrival point.
