PPCA is a friendly club in a fantastic location. We
welcome everyone and our pricing policy is designed to help
families and younger members into canoeing.
We offer three main types of membership. For full membership,
you must have already have the BCU 1-star award or higher.
If you don't, then fear not, because we offer two types of training
memberships: introductory membership provides a set of courses
for adults and children over 12 years old. For more details
visit the links on the right.
Canoeing in the UK encompasses paddling of both kayaks and
canoes. The kayaks we use are related to those used by Eskimo
hunters and are paddled sitting in the bottom of the closed-in
craft using a two-bladed paddle. Canoes are open craft related
to that used by American Indians that are paddled kneeling or
sitting using a single-ended blade on one side only. The PPCA
is able to provide both types of paddling, although the majority
of our activities use kayaks.
Whatever your age or motivation, canoeing can offer you something.
Whether you paddle for enjoyment of the coastlines, to learn
new skills, to share good company, to improve fitness, to get
outdoors or to get an adrenaline rush in white-water and surf
- canoeing is for you!
