Back on the water

With covid restrictions starting to ease, the club is allowed to resume activities with some restrictions applied. We are looking to operate the club this year and are now accepting memberships from previous/existing members for this season.

Once further restrictions are eased we will be looking for new members along with beginners to join the  club and enjoy paddling our spectacular coastline. Further info will be released in due course.

Coronavirus outbreak

As you all know the UK is caught up in the Coronavirus outbreak, with many restrictions on activities etc. being introduced. We have

taken the government’s advice and that of the SCA (Scottish Canoe Assoc) that all current activities are to be cancelled or postponed.

This means for the club that the current members pool sessions and the upcoming beginners sessions have all been cancelled.

We are still looking at the possibility of having an outdoor season which could be operated within the current guidelines. We will

advise on this later once more information has been received as to the progress of the virus and the changing advice that is being given.

New kayaks for fleet

With help from the Tesco ‘Bags of help’ scheme we have purchased an additional three smaller kayaks for the club, we also purchased four smaller paddles. These will be great for the younger paddlers and give them better control and enjoyment.
