This trustee's
report covers a period where the normal
Covid 19 functioning
ofthe club was seriously
affected by Covid and the
trustees have needed to make a number of decisions to ensure
the long term viability ofthe club for the members.
The club was
fortunate
to have a good level ofreserves going into the
pandemic
and was able to reduce expenditure
during the
pandemic to minimal
levels.
The club was also exceedingly
fortunate to be supported
by the
members
who continued
to renew memberships
through
this
period, ensuring
that the club received income through
the
endemic.

Achiev eme nts
and Pe
rformance
At the start ofthe reporting
period the club closed for all paddling
activity when the country entered
lockdown.
Itwas a
considerable
period oftime before activities could resume,
and

identifying the difference the
charity's work has made to However,
when paddling

we were delighted
to see

and any wider

benefits to society as a
whole. Many members
commented
that they had missed the
opportunity
to be in the outdoors and to meet up with friends and
paddling
partners.
The club saw a large influx ofnew members as paddling
became one ofthe few activities that was accessible during
some ofthe lockdown
periods.
During the year membership
grew from 330pre-pandemic
to
380at the end ofthe financial year.
Our raRing programme
was severely
disrupted
as rafting was
one ofthe last paddling
activities to resume due to the close
proximity ofpaddlers,
but individual

regime.
Our Rafters against
Rubbish project was awarded 810000from
Sevem Trent Community
Fund, for a series of litter picks on the
River Trent and for the purchase ofrafts and stand up
paddleboards.
This programme
was seriously
disrupted
by
Covid, and Sevem Trent agreed an extension
to the end ofthe
project to ensure that we were able to complete our objectives,
Slalom paddling
received a boost when our main slalom coach
was able to get into schools to run some taster sessions, and
this was highly successful
with agreat conversion
rate to young
people taking out membership
and staying
with the club as
young athletes.
Considerable
work was done to retain the
engagement
ofthese young people through
progressive
lockdowns.
Recreational
paddling
resumed
with the key change that all
sessions needed to be pre-booked
and paid for to ensure that
social distancing
could be maintained
and that where necessary
covid bubbles
could be maintained.
The system
introduced
has been exceedingly
successful and it
is unlikely that the club will return
to an adhoc turn up and pay
arrangement.
Coaching courses were delayed
with little activity taking place
during the year, and coaches who were working
towards
assessment
had to
ut their
