Membership of Lincoln Canoe Club is open to anyone who can swim at least 50 metres in light clothing, but those under the age of 11 years must be accompanied by a parent.
The Club meets for general canoeing and training at 7.15pm. each Monday and Wednesday during the summer and at 10.15am. each Sunday all year round.
Taster Sessions and Introductory courses are held in the summer, and in the winter fitness and weight training sessions are held.
If you wish to join Lincoln Canoe Club you must first fill in an Application Form and pay a £15 Joining Fee or Taster Fee.
If you have acceptable canoeing experience or a qualification, such as the BCU Two Star Award, you may pay the Annual Fee and start paddling immediately.
A Club Coach will assess the competency of anyone without a formal qualification.
If you have not canoed before, you must attend a "Taster Session". Here you will be given basic instruction in the use of a buoyancy aid and paddle, and shown how to launch and paddle a canoe or kayak and disembark safely.
All necessary equipment will be provided, but you may use your own if you prefer, and you will need a change of clothing.
Annual Fees are: £65 senior, £45 Junior (under 18). Family Membership is £90 for the first two, plus £10 for each additional member.
In addition, all members are required to raise, during each year, a further amount, as determined by the Committee. Fund raising activities, eg raffles are organised by the Committee, but, if the required sum is not raised, the shortfall will be added to the following year’s Fees.
