Club Risk Assessment

 

 

 

What we principally do is function as a club for members.  We try to have lots of fun and to get wet in silly but amusing ways. Occasionally we do something for the environment, like clean up a beach (see photo above).  We also see seals on many of our paddles.  They seem to like us, this video shows how close they can come:                   Seal Video

 

Most of our members are adults who live in or near Dartmouth. Joining is not expensive and once you have joined you can attend our many paddles throughout the year.  These paddles are a mixture of teaching sessions and fun social paddles. All of our teaching is safety oriented so you learn how to use a kayak properly.

Single adult membership  £53 (2011)              

Couple                               £76

Family                                £78          

Junior/Cadet memberships, please ask.

You can alternatively join as a full Yacht Club member, which gives you full access to the bar.  Canoe section members joining at the above rates can use the bar on Fridays. When you rejoin and pay promptly you get a £5 discount on the above costs.

 

Lots of times a year we will paddle up river to a pub for an evening meal.  These are fun social occasions.  Most of us paddle back home again in the dark with torches and stars guiding the way.
