Sat 23 Mar 2024 British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Safety & Rescue Course
2024-03-23 00:00 - 23:59 | Powys
This is a commercial course being run by Steve, discounted places may be available to BCC members, depending on numbers. More details from Steve or via his website (‘more info’ button below).

The British Canoeing Awarding Body (BCAB) Paddlesport Safety & Rescue course aims to provide paddlers with the key safety and rescue skills required to operate safely and to be able to deal with common problems in a sheltered water environment. The course is designed for all paddlers irrespective of their chosen craft. The objective is to introduce, explore and practise simple strategies and safe skills that can provide you with the tools to solve common paddling issues.

The Paddlesport Safety & Rescue course is a pre-requisite for the British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Instructor Award.

NB we will aim to arrange a Zoom meeting one evening 7-9pm before this course to run through some of the introductory and ‘theoretical’ elements.

Sun 24 Mar 2024 'Easier' White Water Trip
2024-03-24 00:00 - 23:59 | Powys
Details to follow – likely to be the River Barle (Somerset) – subject to water levels

Mon 8 Apr 2024 Summer Training - Social Paddle
2024-04-08 18:30 - 20:30 | Brecon Promenade, Fenni-Fach Road, Brecon, Powys, LD3 9LL, United Kingdom
Apologies for the short notice, Steve’s been somewhat busy since Christmas so only just managing to keep up with what-should-be ‘routine’ Club administration, so…

…our first Monday evening outdoor foray after Easter will be a ‘social paddle’ on the river at Brecon Promenade – come along and join us but don’t expect any structured coaching; we’ll dust-off our river kit and go for a paddle to the rapids and back.

Please RSVP or Get Tickets (or e-mail us with requests) by 9pm Sun 7th, so we know who to expect.

Details for subsequent weeks to follow in due course…

Venue

Brecon Promenade – meet by the Club’s store adjacent to the toilet block in the ‘upper’ car park (https://what3words.com/tigers.loitering.bandage) – NOT in the car park next to the river / boathouse (although some of us might end up operating from there).

Times

Meet at 6.30pm, ready in your paddling clothes. We want to have everyone kitted-up and getting on the water by 7pm, so late arrival has quite a disruptive effect!

We’ll aim to be getting off the water around 8pm, before it gets dark.

Parents or other adults must be available at the start and end of the session to help under-18s with kit and to carry boats; and throughout the session in case they need to get off the water early.

Facilities

There are no indoor changing facilities on site, so it’s a case of changing in the car park. Toilets may be open but only until 7pm – they cost 20p to get in.

Cost

No cost if you bring your own boat & kit (although donations welcomed to help us cover costs)

£5 to hire club boat & kit (kayaks only for this session)

All existing Club members must also have up-to-date membership of both the Club and Canoe Wales – we’ll send separate reminders for those of you who need these! Any new members will need to join formally after their first three sessions.

Equipment and Clothing

We’ll provide boats, paddles, buoyancy aids, helmets and spray-decks for those who need them – but if you have your own, please bring them along

Although deliberate immersion isn’t always part of the plan (and even when it is, it’s usually towards the end of the session) there’s always a chance of accidental capsize, so kit should take account of this (and the general weather conditions).

At the very least, wear clothing layers of the type you might wear to go walking – ideally synthetic materials that stay warm and don’t get too heavy when wet. Most people wear swimwear underneath. And a waterproof jacket (to keep off the rain and wind, rather than keep you dry if you capsize!) – we do have a limited number of canoeing cagoules, but not enough of the right sizes for everyone.

Footwear that you don’t mind getting wet, not too large (chunky trainers don’t fit well in kayaks; neoprene wet-shoes are ideal; sandals or crocs no good as they fall off!).

If you want to be assured of staying warmer if you fall in, a wetsuit is the next step. Ones made specifically for paddling are called Long Johns (or Long Janes) and don’t have sleeves, for maximum mobility (worn with e.g. rash vest beneath and/or fleece above). But a standard surfing-type ‘full’ wetsuit is also fine as a starter. Again, we do have a very limited number of wetsuits, which you’re welcome to check-out on the first evening in case we have one that fits you…

Don’t forget a towel and complete change of clothes for the end of the session, in case you do fall in!!

Sat 13-Sun 14 Apr 2024 Tryweryn White Water Weekend
2024-04-13 00:00 - 2024-04-14 23:59 | Canolfan Tryweryn, Frongoch, Bala, LL23 7NU, United Kingdom
Aimed primarily as pre-trip preparation for our Slovenia paddlers, this will be for experienced ‘harder’ white water paddlers only. Camping overnight, or come for one day only. If there’s no dam release on the Tryweryn that weekend, we’ll perhaps go to CIWW on one or both days instead. Details TBC but in the meantime please ‘express interest’ using the RSVP function (but do e-mail Steve if it says there are no spaces left!).

Apologies for the short notice once again, Steve’s still extremely busy and only just managing to keep up with Club administration, so…

…our second Monday evening outdoor foray will again be a ‘social paddle’ on the river at Brecon Promenade. Come along and join us but don’t expect any structured coaching; we’ll aim to paddle to the rapids and back, hopefully with less flow to fight than last week!

Our third Monday evening outdoor foray will include the option for some ‘personal coaching’ (kayaks only this week) with Dave, Simon, Steve and any other coaches who turn up! The aim will be to match no more than 2-3 paddlers with each coach, so we can find out what you need and hopefully help you get there. There will be a £10 fee for this coaching session.

Or if you don’t want any coaching, feel free to just come along for a ‘social paddle’ (free if you have your own boat, £5 to use a club kayak).
