Our winter pool sessions start on Saturday 4th October and we are taking bookings until Christmas from this Tuesday 9th September and Thursday 11th September.
Sessions are again at 4:00 pm and 4:50 pm on Saturday evenings.
The cost has had to rise 50p to £8.50 per person per session (pool fees are beyond our control). Compared to other clubs it is still excellent value for money.
There will be three blocks of sessions before Christmas. 2026 sessions will be announced later.
Block 1 – 4 weeks: October 4, 11, 18 & 25 – Total cost £34 per paddler
Block 2 – 4 weeks: November 1, 8, 15 & 22 – Total cost £34 per paddler
Block 3 – 3 weeks: November 29, December 6 & 13 – Total cost £25.50 per paddler
Demand is expected to be high, so to be as fair as possible:
- We are initially saving half the available pool slots for our Tuesday night session and the other half for our Thursday night session.
- If we can’t fit you in for October, you will get a place in November.
- You will not be able to book two consecutive blocks (unless there are still places available after everyone has had the opportunity to book).
- Pool sessions can only be booked in person at the river with payment for the 4 week or 3 week block, No phone or Facebook bookings will be accepted.
- We must ensure we cover our pool costs so there are no refunds if you miss a week, unless we can resell your place. If you think you will miss a week, please let the bookings officer know by the Wednesday before the session if possible to give us time to sell your space. Obviously there will be last minute illnesses, but please let us know as soon as possible and we will try to resell your place.
- If you cannot get the block you want, please add your name to our reserve list and we will endeavour to contact you if there is a cancellation. Last minute Saturday cancellations may be advertised on our Facebook page on a first-come-first-served basis.
- Please do not resell your place yourself to friends as we will have a reserve list of people wanting to paddle.
