We provide boats and kit for beginners. Ideally you should have a
wetsuit, but at a pinch you can get by with some old clothes and
trainers that you don't mind getting wet. A windproof cagoule or similar
to wear over the top is also advisable. Bring some food and drink you
can carry in the boat. Don't worry if you don't have a car - we can
usually arrange lifts and roof rack space.

Coming up:

15th - 17th August  Intermediate trip to the Tryweryn, Welsh White Water
Centre, Bala - Upper and Lower

Accommodation:  Camping at Ty Isaf (Big fires and fishing by the river
available) Contact Greg Parsons [greg at smithparsons.co.uk]

Regular Tuesday evening sessions on the River Aire at Kirkstall . At the
clubhouse prompt for 6.00 p.m. aiming to be on the water for 6.30 until
it gets dark about 8.00ish. Pub visit after :-)

Regular Thursday evening river coaching sessions on the River Aire at
Kirkstall. Training towards BCU Star qualifications. On the water for
6.30. Contact Martin Thornton  [martin at mntdesign.co.uk] if you intend to
go. 

Please note - the tree is still in the river below the weir. It has been
trimmed significantly (thanks to Eddie et al.), but still presents a
hazard. Coaches - please make sure all beginners are made aware of the
pinning potential and are supervised carefully.

[n.b. pool sessions still running on Thursdays as usual.]

Cheers,

Steve
