Winter 2009/2010

Notes on Communication: The fastest method of communication is by text, this is vital for last minute decision making. However, the 'Yahoo!' forum is next best. Thirdly, we use email for internal communication, fourth landline, fifth snail mail. If we do not have your details for any of the above methods there is a strong likelihood you will be left outside the link - so please keep us informed of your details and any changes.

Wednesday Training: This year for the youngsters we will be running the 'Paddlepower' syllabus, designed for those up to the age of 14.  We will also run three 1 Star courses for newcomers over 14, and also two 2 Star courses (of 10 week duration).  These courses must be booked via Paul Bashforth on 07976 901510.  Those paddlers who have completed their 2 Star will go into one of two 'Improvers' groups, one for Juniors, one for Seniors.  Their activity will be based entirely upon conditions, but will include aspects of safety & rescue, sea kayaking, surf and sluice.  If popular there may be a case to limit numbers, so a booking system may be brought in.  Kit hire charges will apply to this group.  Any queries regarding this session refer to Paul Bashforth on 07976 910510
                 
      If intending to come on a Wednesday this year, you must attend one of the 'Assessment' sessions on 5th & 12th May
                 
Fit Family:     Open to all, but one star a minimum and ability to paddle in a straight line! Simply involves calm water paddling - Technical advice too!  Where the session is not at Hayle the trailer will probably go - so if you need a boat you will need to contact Richard the Friday prior.. 07966 030975
                 
Pool Sessions:   Open to all, non-members too. Juniors £3, Adults £5.  Redruth School Pool.  Juniors 6-7.30pm, Adults 7.30-9pm.  If bringing your own kit please ensure it is sparkly clean!  Also keep outdoor footwear away from poolside.  Contact Ann for info 01326 561455
                 
Trips/Surf/Sluice:   Standard required will be dependant on conditions, but 2 star is a basic guide. However, if listed here we don't intend it to be too hair-raising! Contact Richard 07966 030975
                 
Committee Meetings: These generally take place in one of the local pubs over the winter and are open to all.  If you have any ideas or concerns come along for the committee to address.. Contact Ann 01326 561455
                 
Boat Hire:   Please be aware that if you use a club boat/kit at any sessions(excepting pool & 1,2 & Paddlesport courses), a charge of £3 per session applies.  Please pay instructor or Bacon Butty Bar
