It's that time of year again when we ask for volunteers to help us provide the rescue cover for the students at this year's BUCS Slalom at Holme Pierrepont, Nottingham. We need people to help provide safety cover THIS weekend, 26-27 February 2011.

We're running a flatwater kayaking skills course in Durham on 13-14 June 2009. This course will improve your basic kayaking skills, building on any experience you already have to make you more self sufficient and efficient with your paddling. The course will suit those who have paddled a handful of times before, but may not yet have attained 2 Star level.

The cost for the two days is £130, including all kit. Futher details can be found at

I'm running a few Intro to White Water kayaking courses over the next few weeks, which is great news. This kind of course is really good to run – I like the fact that the clients can really see themselves coming on over the course of the weekend. Shout out to Alex, who in spite of a swim in the first half-hour of his course (chilly!) stuck through the weekend and get himself well on the way to three star.
