Many members already paddle or row at the club or elsewhere, but for the second year running we now have dates in the calendar which are a focus for social paddling. We also have a forum dedicated to paddling and a forum dedicated to rowing on the club website which can be used for adhoc communication between members and to organise outings. This year some of the dates on the calendar have a destination in mind - weather dependant of course. Some of the dates are suitable for everybody, others will be for more experienced paddlers looking to go further - check out the calendar to see what suits!

To help get more targeted information out to those who want to know, we are creating a new distribution list that you can subscribe to in the members area of the website - we already have lists for cruisers, dinghies, juniors and social, this will be a new list that allows you to receive emails from the club focused on paddling. If you want to be added to that list, you can do it yourself through the members portal or send an email to paddlesports@langstonesc.org.uk to be added. I am taking the liberty of adding people I know paddle to the list - you can unsubscribe at any time if you so desire!

So to recap, for paddling information you can:

Check the club calendar

subscribe to the "paddling matters" distribution list in the members area of the website

Use the paddling forum on the website

email paddlesports@langstonescorg.uk

There is also a dedicated page on the website HERE for paddling including links to club documents designed to help you paddle safely and in an environmentally-friendly way - please do take the time to look at those.

Please come and join us, no matter what your level!
