We are a community based Kayak and Canoe Club based at Kew Bridge. We welcome people of all skill levels, we cater for people who are totally new to the activity, right through to experienced paddlers.
We hold sessions at Kew Bridge every Wednesday 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm, from April to September. We organize Beginner friendly taster sessions which we promote through this Meetup website.
We supply all the kit you need as well as coaches to help you along (just bring outdoor clothing for the weather, shoes you don't mind getting wet and a bit muddy).

Dress for the weather: man-made fibres that don't hold water, an extra layer for the pub stop, waterproof if it looks like rain; for your feet closed toe shoes that you don't mind getting muddy e.g. old trainers, wetsuit boots or water shoes. You may get a bit wet so bring a change of clothing and shoes for afterwards. Changing facilities are available at the arches - arrive a little early please if you need to change beforehand.Cost £20. The cost of the taster session can be discounted from annual membership if you join the club.
