Don’t miss our annual end-of-river-season Fancy Dress and Torchlit Paddle and BBQ!
The BBQ s £4 per person (the paddle is free). Please book with Jean or Gail at a Tuesday or Thursday session.Dress up yourself and your boat however you like (but keep it safe, you still need your buoyancy aid!).
Don’t forget your head torch, and decorate your boat with lots of lights as we paddle back in the dark.
Please be at the river for our normal meeting time of 6:00pm to allow plenty of time to decorate your boat. We will have judging on the bank before the paddle starts. There might even be a prize! Then we’ll paddle upstream past the railway bridge and back.
Please add your name to the attendance list in the boathouse. This will also reserve you your boat of choice (kayak or canoe) on a first come first served basis.
Then it’s BBQ time outside the boathouse!
Our fancy dress paddles started in 2010, before that they were just torch lit. For inspiration have a look at photos of all our fancy dress entries over the years. Click on the year to see them.
