Welcome
Southbourne Canoe Club is a small and family
friendly canoe and kayak club based
on the south coast of England in a town called Christchurch near
Bournemouth. We are located at Christchurch Rowing Club on the river Stour at
Christchurch Quay, providing an all round experience for novices and experts alike.
The Club aims to provide facilities and instruction to families and individuals
to enable them to pursue their chosen canoe discipline to the standard they require.
Many people
are unsure of whether the club will be able to offer them what they need and so
feel free to turn up and get to know usand
what we do. We cater for skills ranging from rodeo stars to absolute beginners.
