FREE Maidenhead Canoe Club taster session

Maidenhead Canoe Club has just been launched and is open to new adult members. Join us for a free taster session to try out a two person canoe or sit-on-top kayak.

Most boats are doubles so you will probably share with another person. Bring a friend if you wish (though indicate this below). Canoes, paddles and buoyancy aids are provided.

You will be in a small group with a qualified coach, paddling on calm sheltered water. Beginners are welcome.

There is no clubhouse and no changing facilities so arrive 1245 ready for the water. Wear comfortable clothing including sturdy footwear, such as river shoes or trainers.

Taster normally sessions cost £10, but this one is free as it is part of Maidenhead Waterways Fun Day, organised by Friends of Maidenhead Waterways.

This event starts at Chapel Arches north opposite Bombay Story restaurant and lasts 45 minutes.

Places are limited and booking is essential. If it's booked up, please join the wait list and watch for updates. If anyone drops out, there may be a late space available.

Joining Maidenhead Canoe Club costs £20 per year. New joiners must complete our canoe and river skills Discover course, costing £27.

Club membership will allow you to take part in club paddles on Monday evenings and other events. The club is run by Friends of Maidenhead Waterways, which is a charity.

Maidenhead Canoe Club is affiliated with Paddle UK and is proud to support #ShePaddles, to encourage women in canoeing and kayaking. All club activities are insured.
