Don’t miss our annual end-of-river-season Fancy Dress and Torchlit Paddle and BBQ!

The BBQ s \u00a34 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!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t forget your head torch, and decorate your boat with lots of lights as we paddle back in the dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are paddling please add your name to the equipment list in the boathouse. This will also reserve you your boat of choice (kayak or canoe) on a first come first served basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then it’s BBQ time outside the boathouse! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
