Great News….
The PPCA gained the BCU Top Club and Sport England Club
Mark Accreditation on 2nd April 2008. We are the first canoe
club in Devon to have achieved these awards, which provide
a quality kite mark to recognise clubs with high standards
of safety, coaching, and management and who have commitment
to young people.
Congratulations are due to a lot of hard work put in by the
committee over the last few years, pulling together information,
fine tuning our policies and activity programmes to ensure
that we successfully met all the criteria set down for the
awards. But without all our coaches and helpers we would never
be able to offer such a wide range of canoeing and kayaking.
Well done to all those concerned.
