Newark Canoe Club is a
very active club that tries to meet the canoeing and
kayaking requirements of all ages in the Newark and Lincoln areas.
We are a very family orientated club with a fun-packed events list
for both paddlers and non-paddlers.
We Meet During the summer
months Newark Canoe Club meet on a Sunday afternoon between 2pm and
4:30pm at Thurlby Lake, which is about halfway between Newark and
Lincoln on the A46 (Click here for a
map). This is a superb venue with clubhouse, ample car parking,
a large landing
stage and a ramp for easy access to the water. Directions at the
bottom of the page.
During the winter we
arrange pool sessions on Saturday evenings. Details are posted on
the Events page.
As a club we
are always looking to expand our coaching base and during 2007 we
ran Level 1 and Level 2 training courses. Additions to the coaching
personnel during 2007 were as follows:
4 Level 1
Coaches, 5 Level 2 Trainee Coaches (for those who don't know, a
Level 2 Trainee is a Level 1 with extra whistles and bells), 1 Level
2 Coach.
If anyone
wishes to become a coach do speak to us as we would be delighted to
help you achieve your objectives.
Newark
Canoe Club covers a wide range of interests. As a club, we try and meet
those interests by providing appropriate trips for all abilities
within the club. We often run river and canal trips, open canoe
trips, sea and surfing trips and whitewater trips as well as
internal club training courses and courses with outside agencies.
The
significant increase in our qualified coaching base during 2007 means that we can now
look forward to further expansion and diversification of club activities.
We
are a
BCU Affiliated Club
