Venue: Vassa , South Nesting E trip
This trip is open to all beginners this year and last year who attained their 1 star award. Experienced paddlers also welcome. Meet at Vassa, South Nesting to be on the water for 7pm. If you would like to paddle on this trip then call Craig to arrange equipment and book a kayak. Please call before 6pm on MOnday so trailer can be loaded with required gear.
The Seventh Symposium is on it’s way!
(We’ve even got a mention in the 24-page Sea Kayaking Mini Mag free with the June issue of Canoe & Kayak UK magazine)
We’ve made two changes which we’re hoping will be helpful:
– there’s going to be ‘day membership’ of the SCA available for anyone that’s not in an affiliated club or SCA/ BCU
– we’ve removed the closing date
We’re hoping this will make it easier for everyone!
We’ve had to revise the membership forms for 2012 so we’re slightly later than normal getting these out to club members, but they’re now out so please try and get them completed as soon as possible if you’re wanting to take part in club activities! By all means turn up with the form at any of the Bridge End sessions and give to a Committee member, or return it to the address on the form itself.
Shetland Canoe Club Membership Form 2012 available here to download.
Thank you
As decided at the AGM
Some point over weekend of 28th and 29th April the club will be involved in this, the 25th year of the Voar Redd Up.
details to follow.
Never paddled before? The Club runs coaching sessions throughout the season, starting with four weeks of theory and pool work to prepare for the great outdoors.

Consultation on developing a safety system for Adventure Activities in Scotland is underway, it may affect us as a club and unfortunately the closing date was the 30th March! I’m sure no-one would argue against having safe systems within the club, it’s just if clubs such as ours end up being covered by this system it could be very expensive in so many ways as it will almost certainly involve paying for registration and inspection with all of the additional paperwork that will incur. We’re going to discuss it (briefly) at Club Committee Meeting on Monday and feed back general comments to SCA.
