A Busy Month in Sharkland

September saw a lot of activity for The Sharks as indeed so do most moths.

Competition Round Up

The month started with Shark paddlers racing at two separate event on the Same Day:

Rick Moore was racing at Holme Pierrepont Slalom.

Whilst Khaleel Zainuddin, Liah Boyle, and Neal Underwood headed to Cardington Slalom.

At the end of the month we were at the Lee Valley for the Vintage Slalom, hosted by The Sharks and what a great event it was, thank you to all those involved.

Awards

Congratulations to Neal Underwood on receiving the Outstanding Contribution Award from British Canoeing.

Paddling Sessions

The first of our regular monthly pool sessions took place at Horsenden School.

A return to our School Sessions with Three Bridges and with Harlesden Primary Schools.

Behind the Scenes

As always things are happening to make improvements to what we do, we have been talking with developers about new sights for 2024 and about improvements to our existing sites, particularly at Harlesden, where we hope the building work will soon finish and we can get back to normal and hopefully have access to this …

With everything going on at The Sharks, we need to recruit some help, so please if you can offer us some time get in touch: 07951 770241 or email: canoeing@thesharks.org.uk.

The Quay to Life

Yes The Sharks are Quay to life in new urban developments, as well as appearing in the community newsletter distributed in North Greenford, we are on their advertising boards and we are in talks with a number of other property developers who want The Sharks at the heart of their developments.
