SUMMARY:Mon 12 Feb 2024 EXTRA Pool Session (General Training)
DESCRIPTION:We had expected to be delivering a training session for a local youth group next Monday (half-term)\, but they can’t (all) make it\, so we will have spaces for anyone interested in attending an ‘extra’ training session (with at least some coaching available). We have to pay for the pool anyway now\, so it would be good to have a few members along to help cover costs! Usual time\, place and ticket process (e-mail Steve if it says it’s sold out).

SUMMARY:Mon 8 Apr 2024 Summer Training - Social Paddle
DESCRIPTION: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… \n\n\n\n…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. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP or Get Tickets (or e-mail us with requests) by 9pm Sun 7th\, so we know who to expect. \n\n\n\nDetails for subsequent weeks to follow in due course… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\nBrecon 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). \n\n\n\nTimes\n\n\n\nMeet 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! \n\n\n\nWe’ll aim to be getting off the water around 8pm\, before it gets dark. \n\n\n\nParents 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. \n\n\n\nFacilities\n\n\n\nThere 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. \n\n\n\nCost\n\n\n\n\nNo cost if you bring your own boat & kit (although donations welcomed to help us cover costs)\n\n\n\n£5 to hire club boat & kit (kayaks only for this session)\n\n\n\nAll 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.\n\n\n\n\nEquipment and Clothing\n\n\n\n\nWe’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\n\n\n\nAlthough 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).\n\n\n\nAt 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.\n\n\n\nFootwear 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!).\n\n\n\nIf 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…\n\n\n\nDon’t forget a towel and complete change of clothes for the end of the session\, in case you do fall in!!
