The session starts at 10:30 am so please arrive between 10:15am and 10:30am for an orientation, safety drill and a warm welcome. We will be paddling regardless of weather, a little bit of rain won't hurt when you are already going to get a little wet. Look for the people in blue and yellow!

We provide paddles and life jackets but you will need to: wear old clothes or active wear that you don't mind getting wet, extra thermals or layers of clothes, old trainers/paddling boots/flip flops, bring a drink bottle, cap/hat, sunscreen, towel and toiletries, and a change of warm and dry clothes. We have good shower facilities with HOT water.

For more details and to RSVP to the event please check out Facebook or Meetup. Share it with your friends, family, colleagues, random strangers at the gym, everywhere!
