April & May Beginner Courses - Postponed

Details

By Mark Corti

With regret, we've decided to postpone all beginner courses that were scheduled to take place in April and May.  We hope to re-schedule these courses for later in the year, and hope to be able to paddle with you over the summer.  If you had a space booked on these courses, you should have received a cancellation email this morning.  All payments are being refunded - this may take a few days to come through to your account.  

We hope to paddle with you in happier times.

Club conference - cancelled

Details

By Mark Corti

Even more disappointing than the Six Nations postponement, even worse than cancelling the footie - this Tuesday's British Canoeing Club Conference has also fallen foul of COVID-19 and is going to be rescheduled later this year.  On a more serious note, this was an important opportunity for paddlers in the south east to give their input on BCs plans for the future; hopefully they will delay implementation of any changes until this can happen.

Leeds Castle Sports Fest

Details

By Mark Harris

This year Leeds Castle will not be running the Triathlon as in previous years. A Sports Fest weekend now takes it's place across 27th and 28th June, and we have been invited to be a part of it.

Maidstone Canoe club have been asked to provide safety cover for a Juniors Aquathon running from 14:00 - 16:00hrs on Saturday 27th June. Those who have previosly been involved may have provided cover for the junior races and know how much this is appreciated.

Outside the time of the race, we have been invited to run 'Come and try' sessions on the moat. This will give anyone taking part a good deal more paddling time than in previous years and will hopefully help to promote the club in a much greater way than we have been able to during the triathlons.

If you are able to help out on either, or both days, Please contact: mark.harris@maidstonecanoeclub.net
