* During the Summer months Wednesday Night is club-night at Lake Pier and there is usually a medium paddle of a few miles led by one of the club coaches ( if the wind isn't too strong). The destination is usually decided on the night based on the wind and the tides and the paddle starts around 7pm ~7.15pm.
* There is also a session aimed at the novices in the club an
d members who want to improve their skills - These take place around the pier and will usually start at about 7.15pm
^ If there is a strong tide then there may be moving-water session beneath the bridge at Rockley. The outflow narrows to about 20 metres beneath the bridge and can provide some very positive moving water.
* There may be a rolling session - possibly Greenland-style rolling - run by one of the club coaches proficient in the techniques.
* During the Winter months there will be courses in water-confidence and in rolling at the pool at Leisure Centre in Ferndown. The courses will need to be booked and are run by many of the club coaches who give up their time to help you improve your skills. Weekend paddles will be announced by e-mail but run to a set pattern - 1st Saturday, 2nd Sunday, 3rd Saturday and with a new members paddle on the last Sunday of the month. It is always worth checking on the club's pages to see if members are offering less formal paddles of their own. Happy paddling
:-)
