This is a very active club with river, estuary and sea touring and white water interests with some marathon racing as well. Some members do the Avon Descent . Advice and instruction are available for newcomers. We are a very social group. We meet on the 4th Thursday of each month at Albany Boat House, at around 7:30 pm. Visitors are most welcome to come along and find out about club activities.

PLEASE notify the CONTACT PERSON if you're coming on a paddling trip, or even thinking about it!  This is VITAL for many reasons, such as a change of venue ! ALL WHITE WATER/ RIVER TRIPS ARE DEPENDENT ON RAINFALL - So check with the organisers BEFOREHAND! VISITORS are welcome on paddling trips on the Calendar of Events, with appropriate skills.
