Presentation of Cheque to the Sarah Matheson Trust
At the recent AGM the club presented a cheque for the fantastic
amount of £1,800 to the PPCA's chosen charity of the
year - 'The Sarah Matheson Trust'. The SMT is the support
charity for people living with, and caring for, the neurological
disorder Multiple System Atrophy (MSA). Many thanks to all
PPCA members who helped achieve this total.
White Water
The winter months see a shift from evening training sessions
to weekend white water. White-water paddling is exciting and
gives the participant new and interesting ways in which to
entertain the coaches! The season started in Oct and finishes
mid March. We run trips on many Sundays and some Saturdays
during the season, depending on water levels. More...
Saturday Recreational Trips
These continue through the Winter months for recreational
and sea kayak trips on Saturdays. Wrap up warm though as it
can be cold! See newsletter for details.
