Over the past couple of years the club has gained a good reputation for providing paddlers to support safety at both British gas and Epic events.
The following schedule of events has been provided to Martin, if you are interested in earning a few pounds and are availble for some or all please let Martin know, so that we can put together a list.
We will post the individual events with more detail on the club FB site, nearer the time.

A recent conversation with a parent has highlighted to the club committee that some confusion may exist, particularly with non-paddling parents, in differentiating between club sponsored trips and those trips organised between individual paddlers.

Our second succesful Slalom event on the Sands Rapid. The sun shone and the river was flowing at good level, it made putting the gates up in the rain on Saturday all worthwhile.
In addition to good support from Carlisle CC, paddlers attended from both Copeland CC and Selkirk CC, the youngest paddler was 7 years old and he was pretty impressive for a first attempt on moving water.
Ray impressed us all by his ability to miss gate 6 on both runs and Ian had an impressive capsize in his open boat which ruined his chances of beating Martin. Better luck next year Ian.
