Council splash out to help the Peak Paddlers
Published Date:
21 August 2008
THE recently formed Peak Paddlers Canoe Club have just received a grant of £450 from Cllr Barbara Wilson to help them to get the club up and running.
Barbara visited The Club at their home base at Errwood Reservoir to present the cheque.
Peak Paddlers were officially formed after being initially set up by Deb Cook from Whitehall Outdoor Pursuits Centre. Debs is the Captain of British White Water Rafters and has recently returned triumphant from the European White Water Rafting Champs where her team won a silver medal.
Peak Paddlers meet every Thurs 7-9 pm at Errwood Reservoir and paddle in both canoes and kayaks. They have a great social aspect and have weekends away paddling.
Beginners and experienced paddlers are welcome as are families.
Annual adult membership is £24 and Family is £48. Boats and kit is provided at a small fee. Instruction is given to improve or take qualifications to become a better paddler or coach.
Their future aim is to buy their own boats and kit with aid of grants and donations from local businesses, so if anyone wishes to sponsor us please contact our Chairperson, Mo Stewart on our web site www.peakpaddlers.co.uk
