SUMMARY:Sun 4 Jun 2023 British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Safety & Rescue Course
DESCRIPTION: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). \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nThe Paddlesport Safety & Rescue course is a pre-requisite for the British Canoeing Awarding Body Paddlesport Instructor Award. \n\n\n\nNB 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 – probably either Wed 24 May or Sat 3 Jun.

SUMMARY:Mon 12 Jun 2023 Summer Training
DESCRIPTION:This will be the first of our next ‘block’ of training\, for 6 sessions 12 June-17 July. \n\n\n\nWe can now confirm that we’ll have the following groups for this block of 6 sessions. We do have space for a few more – so please Buy Tickets or RSVP below (or e-mail us) if you’d like to attend the whole block or just this individual session. \n\n\n\n\nJunior ‘Learn to Kayak’ Beginners Course\, working towards the British Canoeing Paddle Discover and Paddle Safer Awards (with the option to include some ‘transferable’ canoe and/or SUP skills):\n\nFinn\, Gethyn (not 12th)\, Rhys (own kayak)\, Seth\n\n\n\n\n\nAdult ‘Learn to Kayak’ Beginners Course\, working towards the British Canoeing Paddle Discover and Paddle Safer Awards (with the option to include some ‘transferable’ canoe and/or SUP skills):\n\nAshley\, Martin (not 3 Jul)\, Paul\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth Developers\, continuing to work towards the British Canoeing Paddle Explore Award and further developing skills in kayak\, canoe and SUP:\n\nFleur\, Lauren\, Sam Ho (not 10/17 Jul) [joined when appropriate by Edith\, Natalie and any ‘graduates’ from the Beginners course]\n\n\n\n\n\nCasual Paddling\, self-led or tagging-along with another group\n\nMike B (when available)\n\n\n\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 8.30pm\, 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\nCourses: £36.\n\n\n\nDevelopers & Casual Paddlers:\n\nusing Club boat: £8 per session or £36 for 6 sessions booked in advance (no refunds for missed dates).\n\n\n\nusing own boat: £3 per session.\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ll usually collect fees by Direct Debit through our membership system\, unless you make other arrangements with us (no cash!).\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!!\n\n\n\nWe’ll be sure to talk about kit on the first couple of sessions so you can get an idea of what’s out there before you commit to spending £££\, but if you do want some ideas…\n\n\n\nGood local(ish) stores to look at are Up and Under and Canoe and Kayak Store – both will offer discounts for club members on request…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are still trialling our new online booking process with this block of sessions\, giving you currently 3 options for booking: \n\n\n\n\nif you have one of our new website-based membership accounts (which you’ll have received a separate e-mail about)\, you can now ‘buy tickets’ direct via PayPal using the ‘tickets’ section below (you’ll be asked to login to your account – please try this out and let us know if you have any problems;\n\n\n\nor you can still use the ‘RSVP’ section below to ‘express interest’ in attending individual sessions or the whole block;\n\n\n\nor you can drop us an e-mail at mail@breconcanoeclub.org.uk to let us know you’d like to come along to one or more sessions (or if you have any questions!).\n\n\n\n\nNB our plan is to gradually extend and improve the direct online process once we know whether it works!
