Female club members and female guests are invited on a #Shepaddles 'Paddle & Prosecco Evening'.

*Please note - male club leaders may be supporting this event.

Meet at Frankwell 5:30pm if you require a boat issuing / setting up or if you have your own boat 5:45pm to be ready for getting on the water by 6pm.

We plan to paddle at a relaxed pace through Shrewsbury under some of the Shrewsbury bridges, aiming to be on the water roughly an hour. We plan to celebrate our paddle and socialise a little afterwards with a glass of Prosecco (alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions available).

This event is suitable for newcomers to paddling or those more experienced.

If you require kit hire please book and pay for this prior to the event via the club website

There are Club led, Guest Led and Peer paddle options available to book. At the time of going live the Club Led and Guest Led options are for kayak only - this may change if other leaders become available. All craft can be booked on as Peer Paddle ticket option.

Club led spaces are limited but more may open up depending on leader availability so please add yourself to the waiting list if spaces are full.

Peer Paddles are responsible for their own decision making and safety on the water - please still book on even if peer paddling.

If you are a newcomer to paddling please book a 'Club Led' place if a member or 'Guest Led' if non-member

Non-member guests are welcome but do need to book on.

Please wear non-cotton paddling clothes suitable for the weather, footwear and buoyancy aids are essential, a windproof jacket and woolly hat are recommended. Please bring warm clothes to change into after paddling.

Buoyancy Aids, Paddles, Boats and spraydecks all available to hire from the club.

The River Severn at Frankwell is usually slow moving or flat water - however at times can be fast flowing. If the river is too high and deemed not suitable for this event we will postpone for a time with more suitable river conditions.
