St Austell Canoe Club

Pre season club nights in April

this year we will be trialling club nights in April

these will be for fully paid up members only

members with their own boat and kit preferred

this is to reduce shed time as we estimate only

an hour to hour and half of daylight

 Thursday April 4th 7pm

also expect to park in the car park (pay)

as the field is very wet and boggy

The AGM will take place at Porthpean Sailing Club starting at 7.00pm.

Any members wishing to raise motions for discussion should follow the procedure detailed on the following web page:

Isles of Scilly trip 2025.

Following successful trips in 2023 and 2024, another SACC trip to the Isles of Scilly is being arranged for next year:

When: Saturday 16th August to Saturday 23rd August 2025

Where: 'Sea View' area of Pelistry campsite, on St Mary's.

If you are interested in joining the trip, please register by filling in your details on the form here.  No firm commitment at this stage - I just need to get an idea of numbers. If we have enough to make the trip viable, then I'll ask for a deposit by the end of October, with balance in May. This trip is primarily for SACC members, but non-kayaking partners/guests are very welcome subject to space.

Costs is anticipated to be similar to this year - £325 per person, including return ferry, transport of kayaks, camping gear and camping.

Any questions - just ask.
