A Big Thank You to our Amazing Staff

July has been a difficult month fo us all, we started to crawl back into activity in June, opening our first post lockdown sessions, which have grown and stabilised throughout July.

Thanks entirely to our amazing staff and coaches, who have been doing everything possible to ensure the Club progresses.

We are back at Osterley, which has had a great start, the first session of 2020 was teh last Sunday in July and it went very well, and was well attended, 60 paddlers turned up for a session, which we did not know we were going to run till 4 days before the, so no real advertising or marketing, just people wanting to go canoeing.
