Why become a member? Heres what our members say
I joined the club about 12 years ago after discovering bell boating and wanted to learn to kayak. The club has taught me a lot and when feeling a little nervous on the water or out of my comfort zone the coaches are always super supportive. Always end up smiling and achieving a little more
Age is not a barrier to having fun. We are newcomers to the sport but are learning new skills each month. There is a variety of paddles with an army of people to help and advise us. A very friendly, social bunch who make a mean sausage bap!
A friendly group of people who are happy to welcome all ages, including OAPs, such as ourselves, and all skill levels, including total novices. A great club to meet new people and be active
Having moved to the area I decided to try an activity I only briefly tried in the past as a way of getting active, meeting people and learning a new skill.
​
The club achieved all of these but what I didn’t anticipate was how well organised it is, variety of trips and great company.
A great bunch of people that have helped develop my paddling from a long time ago
Everyone, everyone adds something to mix, providing the opportunity to paddle and have a lot of fun.
​
Why did you join the Club? I wanted to try kayaking, that was the summer of 1987, I think I have got the hang of things now (lol)
The club is very welcoming and supportive. All ages and abilities encouraged to take part and the promotion of safe kayaking
WKCC has helped massively with overcoming personal fears on and in the water with no pressure, enabling me to progress at my own pace.
​It is a brilliant way to meet other paddlers. It gives you the opportunity to improve your paddling and there are club nights, trips and social meet ups available throughout the year
​
A weekly club meet has helped me kayak more regularly. After a busy day at work you sometimes can’t be bothered, but you know you are going to miss out on a good paddle if you don’t get off the sofa!
