Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects (include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
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 2023. MADCC is affiliated to British Canoeing and maintains
this affiliation through annual subscription. This year none of our regular
scheduled activities were impacted by 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 2022 and
2023 AGM meetings, these meetings were held in-person. 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. The club hired facilities to allow indoor
swimming pool training sessions on 16 occasions throughout the winter
(October22 to March23, and again from October 2023).
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 regularly organises a number of competitive events including
monthly 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 as were a
number of Hasler events including the race organised by MADCC but
again the Cheshire Ring Race was not run. These activities are
supported by weekly race boat training sessions throughout the year.
The club organised regular monthly sea kayaking trips suitable for
beginner and intermediate paddlers and supported by appropriately
qualified coaches/leaders. This year the club supported sea kayak leader
training for 1 individual who gained British Canoeing Moderate Water Sea
Kayak Leader award, bringing the number of qualified Sea Kayak
Leaders to five.
The club continued to offer regular 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 we again offered regular moving water(river) trips and training.
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 and leaders, the club provides
financial assistance in the form of training bursaries, contributing to the
cost of any training that is specifically related to gaining or maintaining
relevant coaching and leading competencies or qualifications.
