Summer Dock Session
This year attendance costs £6 for Adults and £4.50 for children.
We meet at the boat shed at 18:30 to allocate kayaks, paddles etc with a view of being on water at 19:00. Equipment will be transported to the launch area, where paddlers will be allocated to a coach. Sessions will last approximately an hour but may be extended as the nights get lighter. PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN FRONT OF THE BOAT SHEDS. There is a free car park directly opposite.
All equipment is included in the price and paddlers would just need:
Plus appropriate protection for the expected conditions.
In addition on colder evenings equipment such as the following maybe necessary:
Note we do not have changing facilities at the docks, a beach changing robe works well. It is advised that all paddlers turn up to the docks in their paddling attire.
Helmets are mandatory for all paddlers.
Under 18’s must have a parent or appropriate adult at the launch area for the duration of the session.
All paddlers must have their equipment checked and only enter the launch area (slipway) once fully kitted out. On return, exiting the session, paddlers should keep all safety equipment on until they have left the launch area (slipway).
Please ensure as you enter or exit the launch area (slipway) that you notify the assigned club official and they will “check you in” and ”check you out“.
Children will only be released into the care of their responsible adult.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
