Why
Kayaking / Canoeing?
Hertfordshire
Canoe Club
This is
a great sport that allows you to develop both technical and
personal skills. It can lead you to many exhilarating situations,
or just simply allowing you to paddle stretches of water observing
the country side from a closer range. It does allow you an
important release from the working week. Throughout the summer
months we run beginners sessions (see Beginners and Training
for details)
We are
an expanding friendly club where membership interests vary
between all forms of canoeing / kayaking. We have a good range
of equipment available for hire at reasonable rates. A training
programme has been developed to allow individuals the opportunity
to follow the BCU * awards programme.
There
are opportunities to practice moving water skills at the local
weirs. As a club we can run specific courses upon request
– contact us for further details.
As a club
we organise numerous day or weekend trips away to suit all
levels. These include white water, placid water and sea kayaking
trips.
We do
organise a race each year - the Great Ouse Race in Bedford,
perhaps you fancy learning to paddle a racing kayak?
* What
about the Equipment?
We have
a good selection of boats and equipment that can be hired
at reasonable rates. If you have your own kayak then we do
offer a storage facility. See membership page for details.
* What
to do next?
Whether
you are a beginner or an experienced paddler and you have
any further questions then please feel free to contact us.

If you are a beginner and are interested in trying kayaking
then have a read of this. It may answer some of your questions
about Herts Canoe Club beginners sessions.
Beginners
Sessions
The
first Sunday of every summer month from April 2008 we
will run a beginners sessions.
Each
session will cost £5.00. This covers the cost
of boat hire at a non member rate. Please remember to
bring a change of clothes and a towel - you may get
wet!
The
first session will be payable in advance. This helps
HCC ensure that there are sufficient coaches and experienced
paddlers around to help. You should phone Andy or come
down to the club in person to sign up for the session.
Your place will be confirmed once payment has been received.
There is a max number of 10 people per session.
The
beginners sessions will run from April to October, 1*
training will happen every Sunday.
Beginners
sessions will be lead by a BCU qualified coach and you
will then be able to progress to 2 and 3* awards. Click
here for more information regarding the BCU * awards.
There
may be some pool sessions being organised for beginners
in the summer, this is dependant on the level of demand
and coaches available.
