Information for New / Prospective members
The club paddle on a Wednesday evening from 18.00, we do other days and weekends when we have other courses or events on.
The Facebook page is usually updated with the latest information and the website has lots of information for new paddlers.
We try to keep it as affordable as possible, the sessions are only £3 each. Once you have decided you want to join the club, which after 3 sessions is a requirement, it's £20 for a family or £15 adult individual.
We use a system called webcollect to show the dates and times of sessions and events and a booking / payment form for these.

We run beginners courses for people new to paddlesports which gives people an opportunity to try out different craft and gain confidence and skills in paddling.
​
We can provide a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, cagoule and helmet, we have a range of sizes of wetsuits available. As it's summer and we don't plan to get people capsizing on the first session it is possible to take part without the wetsuit. You would need to wear suitable clothing (not cotton or denim) and footwear to go on the water with (old trainers are good, not flipflops or crocs- as they can float away!), bring a change of clothes just in case, and a towel.
​
The club is based at Ashington Sea cadets and we are allowed access, through an agreement, for the Wednesday evenings and weekend dates. There are toilet and changing facilities within the cadets building.
