St Austell Canoe Club

A chance to catch up and discuss the pool sessions, summer paddling plans or anything else that takes your fancy!

I've booked us a table at the Holmbush Inn on Saturday 18 March 2017 at 7pm.  I need to provide the pub with a pre-order and therefore need to know if you're coming and what you'd like to eat by Monday 13 March.  The menu is available to read here.

Please let me know if you're coming by email (charlotte.ward@staustellcanoeclub.org.uk), phone/text me (07729452248) or via facebook.

Hope to see you there!

AGM
Hello everyone. 
The up coming AGM gives everbody a chance to sit on the clubs committee.
As current chairman I have had the pleasure of serving the clubs membership and steering the club in the direction we are currently on.
It has given me great satisfaction to serve you.
I hope everybody has been happy with me. 
The AGM is a time for election of New. And re-election of old committee members.
Is there a budding New club chairperson out there?
If you would like to be the new chair read the club website for how to be proposed or contact me for info. 
I will happily run for another year if there is no one new who would like to stand for the post.
I feel though its time for a change so ask yourselves could I be the new chair?
Nominations should be sent to the Secretary (Nick) before the AGM 
Good luck
