Maidenhead Canoe Club has been launched and is open to new members. The club operates on York Stream using open canoes and sit-on-top kayaks.

 

The club, which is run by Friends of Maidenhead Waterways, meets on Monday evenings in the spring and summer months, starting at Chapel Arches in Maidenhead town centre. 

 

Regular club paddles will be along York Stream and down Bray Cut towards the Thames.  

 

Longer club trips on Saturday mornings will go all the way to the Thames at Bray and back, as well as along different stretches of the Thames and some of its backwaters.

 

These trips will be led by qualified club coaches trained in safety and rescue, as well as first aid.

 

Membership of Maidenhead Canoe Club means joining Friends of Maidenhead Waterways, which costs £20 per year. New joiners will then need to complete the Discover course, which covers canoe and kayak skills, equipment, river conditions and safety.

 

Once members have completed the Discover course they can join all club sessions and activities at no extra cost. All canoes, kayaks, paddles and buoyancy aids are provided by the club.

 

Maidenhead Canoe Club is proud to be affiliated to Paddle UK, the governing body of British Canoeing.

 

For those thinking of joining, the club offers regular taster sessions for just £10.

 

Details of taster sessions and Discover courses will be announced and can be booked on our MeetUp site:
