We are pleased to share some great news for the club, on Thursday 3rd December the committee was successful in applying for Sports Development funding from Sports Committee, and as such we are on track to replace and gain some new kit for the new year!

 

After applying for £296.10 and successfully passing with a full vote from sports committee we are please to say we now have the funding to purchase the new following kit.

10 brand new Lomo spray decks  and 3 brand Gul Evo 1 new helmets in yellow/green!

President Ewan Morrison & Events organiser Will Johnson presented the case to sports committee after Kit Secretary Ted Gravestock sourced the appropriate kit to apply for. This also means more of our own funds from self-raised activities and your membership costs can now be allocated to more kit needed including upgrading our first aid kits, river knifes and throwlines.

Overall this means with the addition of our 2 new club boats & 5 new bouncy aids last year, added with the new paddles already purchased this year, efforts from fundraising and the cost of membership can already be seen to be paying off.

We are now looking at increasing the number of CAGs for members.

So Christmas came early indeed! But don’t forget it’s our Christmas Meal on Tuesday, those who are coming; we are meeting at 6pm at Walkabout for what should be a festive night of fun!

Happy Paddling!
