We are pleased to announce that following negotiations with BCP Council, we are returning to the Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre site as our club base from 8th July 2021. Although we will be unable to use the main building (it has been declared unsafe), we can use the slipway and boat storage area as well as the car park (club volunteers only)

This course will now run from Hengistbury Head Outdoor Centre slipway.

Please see our training page for details and how to book.

Following high demand for our 1 day British Canoeing Kayaking Course, another date has been added for Saturday 10th July. Please see our training page for more details and how to book your place.

We are pleased to announce that we will be running a one-day beginners kayaking training course on Saturday 12th June from Iford in Christchurch. This is the BC “Discover” course, previously known as BCU 1*

This training is only available to Southbourne Canoe Club members, so if you wish to join the training, you will need to sign up as a club member, before attempting to book on the training. We will be running a very small group, and so places are very limited, so please book early to secure your place. We will supply boats, paddles and buoyancy aids. Please go to our “Training” section for more details about the course, and to our “Membership” section to sign up as a club member.

Hi All,

Getting ready for getting the club back on the water Evan ran the leaders training day on Saturday and John Connelly managed to get some photos for us to see.
