Club member & Social Secretary Jon Lock was once again on the radio with Paul Edwards  last week, talking about the Maidstone Marathon and all things canoeing!  If you missed it, you can catch up here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4

Learn to Canoe!

Details

By Mark Corti

We've still got spaces on our Canoeing Beginner Course on the 19th & 26th June.  This is a rare opportunity to learn to paddle a Canadian-style open canoe - we typically only run one of these each year!  These boats are fantastic for couples, families, bushcraft and wilderness paddling, as well as a great craft for those who don't like the enclosed feel of a kayak.  Spaces are strictly limited.

Marathon!

Open Day help!

Details

By John Simmonds

Following the great success of the Maidstone Marathon we need our members help again for the club open day this Saturday 21st May. If you can help, on and off the water, please let us know. As well as instructors we will need help booking people in and getting them ready for the water. There will be the usual barbecue, so plenty to do. Drop me an email or let us know via our WhatsApp groups.

Course feedback

Details

By Mark Corti

I was looking through the feedback from our beginner courses held over the last few years, and I wanted to share some of it with you.  The top three responses to the question "What did you enjoy most about the course?" were

1. The patience of the coaches
2. How friendly everyone was at the Club
3. The enthusiasm from everyone on the water

Well done everyone - give yourself a pat on the back this Monday afternoon!
