The club caters for all ages and abilities and has a great family environment.

The club meets every Tuesday and Wednesday evening throughout the year.

In the winter months this session moves to the river Avon next to Waitrose for fitness training.

On Wednesday evenings throughout the year there is Slalom training on the River Avon next to Waitrose, between 1830-2000 hours. Paddlers are coached to improve their technique in this area of paddle sport.

We also run river trips throughout the year catering for a variety of abilities.

Operating Guidelines

In addition to the clubs Codes of Practice, Safety Policyand Risk Assessments, Child Protection Policy and Equity Policy4, the following procedures apply to ensure the smooth and safe running of the club.

Helmets to be worn when involved in all moving water activity.

Buoyancy Aids must be worn whenever on the water or assisting from the bank.

Shoes must be worn at all times when paddling.

Look after SCC kit and put it away appropriately at the end of a session.

The club First Aid kit should be kept in he club room and checked to ensure it is complete and in good order every 6 months. If something is used from the kit it should be replaced immediately and an invoice for reimbursement presented to the Treasurer. This will also have a seal on it. So it is easily identified when it has been used.

On club trips a First Aid kit should be carried by one of the coaches. Individual members are encouraged to carry their own personal First Aid kit.

A phone or other method of communication should be available to a coach or leader of all club trips and sessions. There is a mobile phone in the club room for use in an emergency.

At club coaching sessions the club will operate at a ration of 8 to 1, this ratio may be varied with the support of experienced paddlers and the conditions applying.

Before going on the water for a club activity members should complete the register in the club room as appropriate. On returning they should mark themselves off the water.

Individual members are responsible for checking their own personal equipment and equipment borrowed from the club before use, problems are to be reported to the coach in charge of the activity. In any event the club will check it's equipment at least once a year and replace or repair equipment found to be faulty.

When involved in a club activity no paddler should get on the water without permission of the coach responsible for that activity.

Guidelines may be varied by the coach responsible for a certain activity taking into account the circumstances and capability of paddlers involved at he time.

4 All these documents and others can be found in the Club folder in the club room

A logbook also becomes a source of essential evidence of experience for more advanced BCU Star Awards and for Coaching Qualifications.

Feel free to use the one supplied here or, if you would like, design your own.

The BCU also provide a pdf version of a Coaching and Leadership Log Book allowing you to record all aspects of your canoeing/kayaking for progression towards coaching qualifications :
