Beginners canoe training
Talking to Susan and Will, we are aware there are several people wanting to do open boating, so are looking at possibly running a beginners open boat session during next years training.
Would those of you thinking about doing open boating be interested in doing a Wednesday night during set one? This would still allow you to do another course on a tuesday night.
This would be designed for people who have not been in an open boat or only been in one once or twice.
This is to gauge interest at the moment, but if you might be interested can you let us know below.

We are hoping to use this to teach the basics to help bring people up to speed with canoes.
With kayaking you started at scratch and did 1* to teach you the basics, then you did 2*.
This year we only offered 1/2* and 2/3* sessions and felt we needed to look at an "I've not been in an open boat before" type session. This is what we are looking at, hence looking at a Wednesday so it doesn't stop you booking other sessions on a Tuesday.
It may be that some people pick it up easily and will progress to 2* others may want more time to practice. We will also offer 2* , possibly in the second set.
Hopefully that helps?
