This season we're going to be having a regular  women and  girls group on the third Tuesday of every month. The idea is that we'll have fun, social sessions with opportunities to try different activities and types of paddling with plenty of time for a bit of a giggle and a gossip. The sessions are being run by a small team of female coaches and experienced members - Sian, Mim and Amelia. We've got plenty of ideas of what we could get up to but will be letting  you  take the lead  when it comes to deciding what we'll be doing  .

To get us started the first  session  will be on Tuesday April 21st at the lake. We'll spend the evening getting to know each other, having a go in lots of different types of kayaks and canoes (sit-on-top kayaks,   sea kayaks,  touring kayaks, specialist whitewater canoes, solo canoes, tandem canoes,   whitewater kayaks,  k2 racing kayak, etc), playing some games, and just having a good laugh. It's all going to be very relaxed with the emphasis on fun rather than serious paddling, and getting wet is entirely optional!  And it'  ll be  suitable for any level of paddler from beginners  up .  We'll round things off by finding out what everyone wants to do for the other sessions.

So, if you're a female paddler and would like to give the group a try get yourself down to the lake on April 21st! The full list of dates for when we'll have a girls group running at the lake are:
