Please arrive to be ready for 6:30pm start on the water.
Please book on early to avoid disappointment as due to limited car parking we have to limit spaces. If people can car share we can open this opportunity up to more members.
Arthog have overall responsibility for the site and are allowing us access, we have agreed a cost of £4 per paddler for a session and that money will go straight to Arthog from the club for the benefit of the children they work with.
For all rescue practice wearing a helmet is required
As great as the venue is the water is colder than the river and than the sea, so appropriate clothing is important. A dry suit is highly recommended. Warm clothes for getting changed into. Warm drink a good idea too for afterwards.

Female club members are invited to practice deep water rescues. Simpsons Pool is clean, it doesn't receive any sewage overflow, and so is a perfect venue for us to swim next to our boats!

This is an opportunity to practice or learn for the first time self and peer rescue and anything new people would like to try.
Aiming to be ready to be on the water for 10:30am.

It's a great venue to get wet next to your car pretty close to home and practice most aspects of you paddling.
Parking is limited so car sharing / craft sharing would be ideal. If people do car share we may be able to open this opportunity up to more members.
As great as the venue is the water is colder than the river and than the sea, so appropriate clothing is important. A dry suit is highly recommended. Warm clothes for getting changed into & a warm drink for afterwards.

POOL SESSION AT THE QUARRY POOL
Winter 2026/27 pool sessions - come and book onto a series of pool sessions to hone and refine your paddle skills in a safe, warm environment. Master your paddle technique, your bracing, or get that roll completely solid.
Club coaches will be on hand to support and assist. These sessions are especially good for paddlers starting out on their paddling careers, or for those wishing to master a specific skill set. They are less suited to experienced paddlers (you may be interested in the polo sessions instead when they start...).
Pool sessions are in blocks of 4 and for one hour slots. Please arrive at the pool at least 15 minutes early to get ready.
We have boats at the pool for use. The session is not suitable for SUPs. You can bring your own boat but it must be spotless clean inside and out, and will be inspected by a coach prior to put in. If not clean enough we will need to ask you to use a club boat.
A maximum of 2 sea boats can be used on the pool, and only on the 8pm session. You would need to bring your own. Please contact Steve on secretary@shrewsburycanoeclub.org if you intend on using a Sea Boat to check there is space to do so.
Please bring swim wear, and we strongly recommend goggles and nose clips.
The price for the four week block is £40 - this is non-refundable unless the Club needs to cancel a session for any reason. If you can't make a session then you are welcome to make this known through the Facebook site where often other members will take you up on the offer. You'll need to make payment arrangements with the other party directly in this circumstance independently.
In the event an evening is not sold out then one week bookings may be made available at a higher cost of £15 per session.
If for any reason you can't make a block having booked it, please let us know and we will try and sell the block to another member - if successful we will refund your booking.
Any queries please contact secretary@shrewsburycanoeclub.org
OVER 16 YEAR OLDS ONLY FOR THE 8PM SLOT
SCC Racing Lead - James Block and SCC Club Coach Nick Redshaw are teaming up with Spring Valley Kayak School (South Wales) Coach Jim Pigdon to host a Forward Paddling Technique Day at Frankwell for SCC Members.
Between these three coaches they have an enormous amount of knowledge about kayaking and forward paddling to pass on.
This day is aimed at kayakers (age 11 upwards) wishing to improve their forward paddling technique and efficiency.
It is likely the day will be split into two halves - the morning being based in the Pavillion for theory on efficient forward paddling and a chance to practice techniques on dry land using Jim's Slider, Ergo and Balance Board designed for kayakers.
In the afternoon we hope to take these techniques onto the river so please bring paddling gear and a warm change of clothes.
Please meet at the Frankwell Cricket Pavillion at 9:30am ready for a 10am start. We anticipate the day will finish around 4-4:30pm.
There is a small charge for this event to cover the Pavillion Hire Fee.
Please bring snacks and lunch. Tea and Coffee will be available at the Pavilion.
Boats are available to hire from the club - please book these and pay the hire fee via the website prior to the event.
Please book on early to avoid disappointment as places are limited due to limited space in the Pavillion (if the weather is good we may be able to open up this opportunity to more club members) .
Please add yourself to the waiting list if interested in case of any last minute cancellations and this also gives us an idea of how popular such an event is and whether plans for another event like this should be made.
Please get in touch if you have any queries.
So it will be a week long canoe trip in Yorkshire, limited spaces due to me being the only canoe coach going. we will stay in a Airbnb and enjoy some of the famous Yorkshire waters for a long week.
if you need any info give me a ring or a email but in essence will probably paddle the touring rivers so think grades 1 -2,2-3 and 3. will be for traditional Canoe tandem or single.
rivers at moment looking at the Tees , the Ouse, and possibly the swale.
Good for people that have paddled white water before, you may need to share a room with someone and you will defiantly have to look at portaging and car driving support for canoes.
need to bring Hemet, paddle spare paddle, Ba, painters, swim lines , personal first aid kit, drybags, dry suits, or cag and dry trousers. if you have pin kits and shelters will be most welcome. lastly some non kayaking gear for the occasional meal out,
i would also suggest in case to insure your boats as rescue will be more based on looking after you than your boat if that makes sense should this occur.
