Holiday Activities across West London
We ran session 6 days a week during August.
On Mondays and Wednesdays we held Slalom Sessions at Harefield. Our Slalom team is now gradually building up and gaining some success, we attracted a few new paddlers to the sessions in August and hope they will be racing for us very soon. We are always on the look out for new paddlers so feel free to join us.
Tuesdays was at Havelock and it is great to see the numbers not only steadily growing but the numbers trying out racing boats, we are now organising regular races at Havelock and hope to have many of the regular paddlers entering national races soon.
We will also be introducing Canoe Polo sessions at Havelock in the very near future. We are looking for new members who want to come and have fun, learn to race and or play Canoe Polo. We are at Havelock every Tuesday at 5pm.
We also hosted the Catalyst paddling sessions on Tuesday afternoons.
NW10 Thursdays are growing very fast, we have sessions from 4pm, with our after school club and open sessions at 5pm and 6pm. This is our newest location and we are looking for new paddlers, to join up and have fun.
We are hoping to build a very successful racing club at this location, but there will also be family fun and recreation sessions, so come along and get involved.
On Saturdays and Sundays as well as the Bank Holiday we have been at Osterley Park, enjoying some fantastic weather and great fun paddling. Sessions will continue on both Saturday and Sunday through September.
As well as paddling sessions we have been involved in Community Events.
Hillingdon’s Playday event, which attracted large crowds to Hillingdon Leisure Centre.
The Welcome to Southall day on the new development at Southall Waterside, giving new residents the chance to meet neighbours and find out what is going on in their local community.
Additionally we hosted a number of organisation to our venues, who were themselves arranging Summer Holiday Activities.
If you are interested in your group coming along and having fun, or want us to attend your community sessions, please get in touch, call 07951 770241 or email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk.
There are less competitions in August than other months but we still had people in action.
And we were at Cardington a full report on this will appear later as it straddled both August and September.
We hope you had a great Summer and look forward to seeing you soon.
