Links and colleges from the past year’s reviews

2020 is certainly a year we will remember, however, there were some positive things that happened, here isa look back at the year.

January

An active  start to the year, what could possibly go wrong?

Some new members, new activities, a great start to the year

February

The month the rain came, apparently, with it some nice action on some nice rivers.

Preparing for the start of competitions

March

A great start to our competitive year, how could we possibly have know it was also the end of it?

New paddlers racing, medals and some great results, it could be a good year.

April

What ca we say?

Oh dear, what a strange time, but things continued and The Sharks were active within the limitations we had.

May

Not the greatest to months

But communities pulling together, and being part of the imaginative and community spirited Southall Fund Raiser.

June

And we are back!

After lockdown v1.0 (who knew there would be more?) we opened our sessions at Harefield, NW10 and Southall, to people who had previously ben paddling with us.

July

We were fully operational, thanks to the great efforts of our staff

Back at Osterley Park, welcoming new members, things were looking good.

August

When things started to look normal

A sunny month, back in action and preparing for a brighter future and we got some pretty new kit.

September

Encouraging signs

A trip away for and things getting back into a routine, we started back in teaching in Three Bridges, yes very encouraging, more new members, the Club was definably moving forward.

October

Was it good? 

Well numbers kept on growing across all our sites, we moved to weekend paddling a bit earlier than normal as we had no competitions, but things were looking uncertain as Covid-19 cases started to rise.

November

And not a lot happened!

As we moved back into lockdown v2.

December

We opened up and we shut down again

We certainly had some nice weather for the few sessions we did run, we managed some maintenance at Harefield, planned an active paddling festive season, only for it all to be closed down as we moved to tier 4 or Lockdown v2.1

Wonder what 2021 will bring?

We have launched our recovery plan; Project 21.
