to paddlers and ensured that safety training was at the core
of what we offered.
As more people take up paddling the club sees itself having
a key role in offering education and basic skills training to
all who might want to start paddling.
Our Saturday morning sessions are open to anyone, and
temporary membership is available giving them the
opportunity to access the sessions and try out paddling in a
safe environment.
We are delivering the British Canoeing basic safety
courses encouraging paddlers to take responsibility for
their own safety out on the water, and to know how to deal
with a capsize and getting back into, or onto their craft.
Our Slalom and Freestyle sections have been supporting
paddlers to improve their skills and enter competitions, and
in slalom paddlers have been moving through the divisions.| |---|---| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s
