….is our new bookings number, and our new bookings officer is Frankie Cameron!
This is a dedicated phone line just for the canoe club, so please be patient if it is not answered straight away or goes to voice mail. Frankie will be checking for messages frequently.
Use this number for any bookings queries and to let us know if you want to sell your pool session because of illness etc, but please note we will only usually except new bookings in person at the pool.
For general inquires (but not bookings!) please use 07739 326607. This will get you through to publicity officer and committee member Martin Heywood, but note this is his personal phone so please don’t phone after his bed time!
Can you make some kayak stands for us?
Our new racing boats will be here soon and we need to look after them. To stop the bottoms getting damaged they need supporting on pairs of folding stands when outside the boathouse like this:
Or this:
We can buy these below at £37 per pair, but we need at least 8 pairs. Thats nearly £300! More if we use them for the old boats too. These are good because the foam on the side doesn’t damage the boats:
Alternatively we can buy camping stools at £16 per pair like these from the Regatta Outdoors website, but that is still £128 and they don’t offer the foam protection that the ones above do.:
But can we make our own?
Here is a plastic design out of tube:
and here is a timber design: (It’s another camping stool actually, and it doesn’t need to be so elaborate!
If you think you can help and save the club some money, please get in touch with either Steve Burnett, Neil Marley or Martin Heywood.

We have a couple of updates to make to our pool update. The changes are in red below.
Dress Code
Please remember to wear a swimming costume and tee shirt and shorts when participating in one of our pool sessions. This applies to boys and girls, children and adults. This saves any potential embarrassment! Thanks for your cooperation.
Parent/Guardians
All children under sixteen (not 18) participating in one of our pool sessions (or river session) must have a parent or guardian staying in attendance. The guardian can be a designated other parent (obviously with their consent). Please do not drop off your children and leave them unattended.
Social Night
Because the pool is over subscribed, it may be a month or even two before to get to see your friend in the club. Why not pop down to the pool on Saturday night when you are not paddling? We can congregate in the cafe area for a chat (They’ve a nice new coffee machine) or sit and watch the sessions or even swim in the small pool (still open to the public. Leisure Centre charges apply, I think). Maybe even a trip to the pup after!
Bookings
Clarification on pool bookings:
- We are now taking bookings for December. Members who have not paddled yet will come before those that have already done so in October.
- Bookings for January will open in mid November. More details will be announced later.
To book, please do so personally at the pool during one of our sessions (Saturday evening from 5:00pm)
