NEXT SESSION
NeWs
AGM at 7:30pm 17 September in Lake Room
The meeting will be a chance to find out the progress we've made this year as a club, vote in next year's committee members (Please contact us if you'd like to be involved in organising things or be nominated for the committee) and feed in your ideas on what is working well and we might do better. Note, there won’t be any paddling as we won’t have the light.
Volunteer Day, Sunday 23 September
10:30 meet at the container to get it ready for winter and to prepare the club kit for the pool sessions. We will send out details of what needs doing nearer the time.

Next Events
We will be running at least one river trip per month and others may be run at shorter notice, so please keep an eye out on the facebook page for trips. We will be aiming the trips at getting members from flat water to a white water environment.
