River Session - Tuesdays 6:00pm
An informal river session down at the clubhouse at Kirkstall. A great chance to practice your boat skills. No formal or structured coaching will take place but many experienced members will be on hand to help any beginners/intermediates out. On the water for about 6:30pm.

River Session - Thursdays 6:00pm
For those who have just completed their introductory pool sessions and others, structured coaching is available down at the clubhouse in order for you to work towards your BCU star awards. On the water for about 6:30pm.

Pool Sessions

Now at Kippax Leisure Centre on Wednesdays 7.45 - 9.00 . Meet in the car park at ~7.30p.m. (or in the foyer if wet).

There is no storage for pool boats so we will have to take boats up there and back to the clubhouse each week. We can get boats onto the pool side using double fire doors at the end of the pool that open directly onto the car park. So if you are taking your own boat don't try and take it through the foyer, leave it on your car until we get organized. And we want to make a good impression at the new venue so please ensure all boats are scrupulously clean and securely padded.

Kippax is a bit out of the way, but it has a larger pool and we get a longer session, so come and give it a try.

Cheers,

 

Steve
