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!
Venue: Bridge End 7 PM on the water
This is an easy trip aimed at all beginners from last year.
We look forward to seeing you all at the start of a new season.
Remember to bring your new membership if you have not already joined.
If you wish to come along please contact/text Craig on 07795674053 or email craig@cragden.plus.com with your equipment requirements.
Hi all,
The first paddle of the year will be from Bridge End. Be there and ready for on the water at 7pm. This trip will be for the experienced paddlers.
Remember that all memberships are now due. (You can bring them with you)
We will be holding an easy trip for Tues 29th from BE for all the beginners from last year who reached their 1 star. I will send out another email nearer the time.
Once I have new lists for memberships 2012, I will start sending out text messages as well as emails.
I look forward to seeing you all on upcoming trips.
Craig
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.
Poster up in the Clickimin and there’s more details on the 2012 Clikimmin Beginners Training page on the website
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.
The club AGM is on the 27th March starting at 7.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. in room 9 at the Isleburgh Complex.
This event is open to all and is a good opportunity to come and meet lots of members and find out the club. The club hosts a ‘Free try it night’ on the 29th March followed by a series of beginners sessions held at the Clicikmin pool from the 19th April. Later in the year the club is hosting a Symposium at Bridge End Outdoor Centre . This is a big training event which attracts a lot of kayaking visitors and the sessions planned are run by top level 5 coaches. The club also has a busy trip programme twice a week on top of the training night. So there is plenty to do and lots of places to visit in a kayak, open canoe or play boats.
Please look at the web site for more information.
So put the date in your diary.
