News and Events
The coastline of Cornwall is made up of stunning cliffs, golden beaches, historic ports and harbours, plus some amazing wildlife.
A kayak offers a unique opportunity to explore all this in a safe way within the club environment. Various club trips are organized throughout the year which cater for all levels of experience. These are all led by our team of BC qualified club coaches.
A chance to catch up following the last pool session and before the new paddling season.
The table is booked at 7pm to eat at 7.30pm. Can you please let me know if you wish to come (either via text, email or facebook) and let me know what you'd like to eat by Wednesday 27 March 2019 as I need to provide the pub with a pre-order. The menu is available on their website.
Non-members who have joined us for the pool sessions or those interested in joining the club are more than welcome to come along.
Look forward to catching up.
