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 slightly belated end of season social evening and a chance to catch up with everyone. The table is booked for 7pm on Saturday 9 November at the Gurkha Restaurant in St Austell. Current members and those interested in joining our club are welcome to attend. Please let me know if you are coming either via facebook, email (charlotte.ward@staustellcanoeclub.org.uk) or text so I can ensure there are enough seats.
Look forward to seeing everyone.
