We are pleased to announce that due to popular demand, we have increased the number of available places on our one day beginners kayaking ”Discover” course which takes place on Sunday 22nd May. We do require our club members to be able to paddle to this standard, so if you are interested in joining Southbourne Canoe Club, this is the course for you.

We have access to The Darwin room, which has toilets, a communal room and a small kitchen area.
