Welcome to new member Kieran Richards.

The Paddling Club Atherstone has a special invitation to share and Paddleability has some more session dates. Please see details below.

The paddling club has a special invitation to share.

We are looking for people who haven’t paddled before to paddle with us on Sunday 9th. August between 10 and 12. We are looking for people with an additional need, which could be a disability, a medical need, a mental health need or a financial need. We are going to have a go at paddling along the Coventry Canal and we will clean up the canal as we go! This event will be free of charge. There will also be refreshments available. This is an opportunity to have a go at something new, help the environment and have fun meeting new people at the same time!

Please would you share with anyone who you think might be interested and pass on my number to book in?

Thank you so much!
