Introductory One Star Course
The course is run over two Sundays - the first at our headquarters on the Welsh Harp Reservoir and on the second, we take you on a river trip. The course includes the award assessment, BCU One Star Certificate and full club membership up to 31st March 2014.
All entrants must be able to swim 10m (25m in activity clothing including a buoyancy aid). The One Star is a flat water award that demonstrates an individual has basic boat control and foundation skills and is the minimum entry requirement to join the club.
We will provide kayak, paddles, buoyancy aid, cagoule, coaching, clubhouse and changing facilities. The Club is affiliated to the British Canoe Union / Canoe England, accredited with Sport England's "Club Mark" and licenced by the Adventurous Activities Licensing Service (AALA) for canoeing, kayaking and bell boating.
On completion of the course you can freely take part in general kayaking and canoeing sessions throughout the year and join any trips or courses that you qualify for at the cost advertised.
