Temporary Membership – See Taster Sessions
Taster Sessions are available on a limited number of selected days during our main paddle season which will be advertised on our website in advance.
Whenever we are running taster sessions, you are very welcome to come along and have a try to see if kayaking is for you.
You will need to print off one of our temporary membership forms, fill it out and bring it with you for your taster session. There will be a £10 fee towards your equipment hire and any tuition. You can take advantage of this offer only once.
After your hopefully enjoyable session you will need to take out annual club membership to be able to paddle with us again.
