The winter pool sessions start again on the Thursday 11th October, 8pm till 9pm at the Clickimin pool.

There will be coaches present if you would like to improve on your skills, ie: support strokes, draw strokes and even learn to roll.

Try a greenland paddle, have a go at self rescues, the pool is the perfect place to practice.

There are eight sessions till end November then we stop over the festive, starting again in Feb.

Prices are the same as last year £5 for adults and £3 for juniors/concessions. (each night attended)

Hope to see you all there. Please come early as boats have to be unloaded from trailer and put back on afterwards.

Thursday 6th September will be the last outdoor training night of this season at Bridge End centre. Pool sessions will be starting on October 11th at Clickimin pool. Further details will be given closer to the time. We may be organising a night time paddle, (bring a torch) again more details once dates decided.

That’s the doors open at Voxter and the first paddlers in, more hopefully coming along later today. Trips tomorrow may include a full day trip and shorter half-days, turn up before 9am if you want to come along.

It’s self-catering and there’s plenty of room in the Centre for those that fancy staying over (sorry – no unaccompanied children please). We’ll probably be sitting up tonight and talking about what folks have got up to since last weekend!

If you fancy joining us for part or all of the weekend just turn up first thing in the morning or speak to Chris, Iain or Wendy or email us at the symposium email address.

Three weeks to go until the symposium, places are still available and we also have a day rate in case you can’t make the whole weekend.

There’s a number of delegates arriving on the Thursday before the symposium and we’re hoping they’ll join us for the club training session, so you may even have the chance to paddle with these great coaches, pick up a few hints and tips before the weekend!

If you can’t make it to the paddling through the day we’d still like to see club members out for the Saturday evening slide shows. Please speak to Chris, Wendy or Iain if you’re interested.

We’d also like to gauge interest in Junior paddlers having their own sessions over the weekend, again speak to Chris, Wendy or Iain, or email shetsymp2012@gmail.com
