Sunday 14 April sea kayak maintenance session plus boat shed tidy up
There will be a sea kayak cleaning and maintenance session on Sunday at 11.30am for around 3 hours so that we can get ready for the summer season that starts on 16 April. The boats need a good wash, and also the footpegs, backrests, skegs, toggles etc need to be checked and repaired as needed. We will tidy up the boat shed as well. If there are enough people we can check buoyancy aids, helmets etc.
I have booked the clubroom so we can use that for checking the equipment including putting the boats on trestles if the weather is unfriendly. The clubroom includes access to teas and coffee etc.
No equipment required, although if anyone is willing to do some weeding around the club then a few tools may be useful. If you are willing to get involved with the boat washing then full waterproofs are recommended.
It would be great to have a good turnout. If you are going on the river Dart camping trip you can make sure that you will have a clean boat to use...
This session will be followed by the Taster session but that may be postponed because of the wind. The repair session could also be preceded by a canal paddle if people want, at 8.30am.

hopefully I will be able to leave the trailer outside the dive shed so you can access the new boats as well
I have also put the yellow NDK Romany S in the boat shed and put club stickers on- the only place they would stick was on the inside. This is now club boat 453- I couldn’t find a pen to update the folder but will do next time I get to the club, I’ll also write the number on the boat in permanent marker.
Not sure if I can make it on Sunday morning yet but will update here once I know for sure.
See you on Sunday morning.
