Paddling

From April to September we paddle on the River Ancholme, meeting in our boathouse just behind the Ancholme Lesiure Centre.

From October to March we paddle in the Pool at the Ancholme Lesiure Centre. More information about our river and pool sessions can be found on the sessions page.

We actively promote most canoeing activities such as white water, canoe polo and marathon, sprint and slalom racing. To find out more please visit out disciplines page.

We also cater for the tourer with river trips.

British Canoeing

The club is affiliated to the British Canoeing, which is the national governing body of our sport. This ensures that all members of the club, whether canoeists or otherwise, are covered by insurance at all club events. However, if a paddler wishes to enter competitions outside the club, i.e. slalom, marathon or canoe polo, they are advised to have individual BC membership.

Club Membership Fees

Club membership fees are due at the beginning of April each year. These cover the club's overheads, including BC affiliation fees, boat licences for the River Ancholme and for the running costs for the boathouse.

At present membership fees are £15 per person per year or £40 for family membership. Individual BC membership is extra and is obtained directly from the British Canoeing.

Safety, Safeguarding and Legal

The club take your safety, safeguarding and legal issues seriously. However canoeing is an Assumed Risk Sport that may carry attendant risks. Please click on the legal button for more details of these issues.
