**benefit)**|Macclesfield and District Canoe Club has carried out its purposes, by
providing a range of services. The club operates on a membership basis,
fees are modest and non-members are able to participate on an
introductory basis.
Macclesfield and District Canoe Club (MADCC) has been active
throughout 2020. MADCC is affiliated to British Canoeing and maintains
this affiliation through annual subscription. Certain activities were
restricted as a result of COVID19 restrictions.
MADCC operates under a formal constitution and manages its affairs
through monthly committee meetings, all trustees are members of the
committee. The Committee met on 10 occasions between the 2019 and
2020 AGM meetings, from April 2020 these meetings were held online
using Zoom . Ordinary Committee meetings are open for any/all
members to attend, all members are invited to the annual AGM in line
with the procedures detailed in the MADCC constitution.
Volunteer coaches have provided general training and coaching in
paddlesport at regular twice weekly paddling sessions through late spring
Spring and Summer months, COVID precautions and risk assessments
were deployed. The club usually hires facilities to allow indoor swimming
pool training sessions throughout the winter (October to March), this
activity was suspended due to COVID restrictions.
Club coaches are competent and registered to provide training towards
recognised paddlesport awards and have assessed paddlers for awards
in a range of disciplines at introductory and intermediate levels.
The club usually organises a number of competitive events including
regular club hare and hounds races, regional events (Hasler Series) and
the annual Cheshire Ring race attracting national and international
competitors. This year the Hare and Hounds events were run under
COVID restrictions but neither the Cheshire Ring or Hasler events were
run.
The club organised regular monthly sea kayaking trips suitable for
beginner and intermediate paddlers and supported by appropriately
qualified coaches/instructors. A relatively new but popular addition to the
calendar are regular monthly flat water touring trips. In addition the club
has provided a framework that supports members in a wide range of
paddling activities including expeditions and multi-day trips. This year no
moving water(river) trips were run as this could not be done safely whilst
maintaining strict social distancing.
The club does not charge members or non members for coaching or
training, however charges are made for equipment hire (there is no
charge if paddlers use their own equipment), pool hire, and entry to race
events.
The activities of the club have been supported by a range of volunteers
including a group of qualified coaches, the club provides financial
assistance to coaches by contributing to the cost of any training that is
specifically related to gaining or maintaining relevant coaching
competencies or qualifications.
The club continues to maintain a comprehensive range of kayaking and
canoeing equipment including boats, paddles, safety and other accessory
equipment. The equipment has been maintained in good order, stored in
rented facilities and made available to members for hire and use at all|
