New Members' Inductions will generally be held on the first Sunday of each month. We then offer beginner sessions at various times during the week, or, if you’re more advanced, there are training sessions with coaches which are more race & fitness orientated.

How we can continue to paddle within the guidelines. Basically: 

1. Don’t attend if sick or recently arrived from overseas or recently in contact with a high risk person
2. Be careful with vulnerable people: older people and those with underlying health conditions
3. Excellent hand hygiene. Soap-wash or sanitiser.
4. Extra cleaning on all high contact surfaces
5. Physical distancing. 1.5m and 1 per 4m2
6. Keep a record of attendance to help with contact tracing.
