Membership renewal
The clocks have gone forwards, evening paddling is back at last so it must be time to renew your membership. Membership forms are available to download from the website and can be posted or left at the clubhouse for me (Arthur). Regular paddlers will also find some at the clubhouse which can be posted or left for me (Arthur).
We are making more use of the website and 'Camcanoe' in the absence of a regular newsletter and suggest you join the group, only the committee can post and there is no chat, it is only used to dispense information about events we organise.
Many Thanks and hope to meet at the club soon
Arthur
Membership secretary

Pool sessions
Just as last year, pool sessions are held at the Abbey Pool, Whitehill Road, Cambridge, on Sunday evenings starting at 6 pm and finishing at 7 pm. You can arrive slightly earlier and get stuff ready for a prompt start, but please don't obstruct the pool-side.
For new members and beginners, these sessions are ideal to practice the capsize drill and support strokes introduced at one star or practice the more advanced supports and rescue techniques that the higher awards will need. More skilled paddlers can perfect their rolls and work up to hand rolling, or we could play a few games.
Sessions were very well supported last year, some sessions having twice as many paddlers as boats; we do try to get everybody a paddle but unfortunately this will mean reduced paddle time. Please bear with us if this happens occasionally.
There will be coaches around and someone "on duty" to point them out to you if you would like a few pointers. The sessions are open to all - members and non-members alike. The cost is £4 for adults, £3 for juniors. A parent or guardian must remain at the pool for the duration of the session when bringing juniors.
