Reminder Pool Session: Saturday July 18th 6:15pm - 8:15pm
With the summer holidays coming up the July pool session is not in our usual "last Saturday of the month" slot. Please come early to help unloading the boats from about 6pm.
The club is based just north of Bristol and prides itself on being a friendly, fun loving family club that takes a pride in developing paddlers’ skills. We paddle on a number of rivers throughout the region and regularly run trips to other great destinations throughout the UK and Europe.
We have paddlers of all ages and abilities. Beginners are encouraged to take up the sport, develop their confidence and learn new skills. For more experienced paddlers we offer the opportunity to develop your skills or have fun on the water with other paddlers.We have an active coaching programme that aims to help paddlers develop the skills they need to go paddling in a safe and enjoyable way.
Whether you want paddle kayaks or canadians, take on the challenge of white water, surf, the open sea or just enjoy a quiet paddle down one of our beautiful rivers we will have something for you.
With more than 130 members, an active programme of trips and courses and a large fleet of canoes and kayaks we are able to help beginners get started in this fantastic sport and more experienced paddlers try something new.

Many thanks to Richard and Matt at Outdoor Active Canoe and Kayak Store for laying on a special club night. I'm sure everyone will agree its great to have a such a friendly and supportive retailer supporting the club like this.
Although work commitments kept me away, I understand the rest of the commitee stood in on my behalf and we've managed to expand the fleet of Sea Kayaks.
Another happy fellow was my son Tom, who will shortly be seen down at Saltford showing off his new Liquidlogic Biscuit - He's a very happy chap! Although just how long we'll have to put up with an orange plastic coffee table is still open to question.
Some say freestyle is dieing, but only those who have not paid a visit to the Youth Freestyle Series. The series is growing in popularity each year and at some events attracts over 100 young freestylers. This year there are 5 events; Llangollen, The Mighty Nene, Boulters Weir, River Washburn and Nottingham White Watre Centre. Josh Wedgwood reports from the latest event at the Nene.
The sun was shining and the pumps were pumping. The scene was set for the second event of the youth freestyle series 2009 at the Nene White Water Cource. With 50 youth kayakers taking place it was busy on the course but everyone took terns and everyone had a great time in the morning practice. There was coaching on hand for everyone who wanted it as there were lots of expert volunteer coaches on hand.
