Newark Canoe Club
Newark Canoe Club is situated at Thurlby lake near Whitham St Hughes. We are a club of volunteers passionate about Kayaking, Canoeing and Paddle boarding, affiliated with British Canoeing and fully insured.
Every Sunday between 14:00 and 16:00 we open the club to non- members at the lake to run open sessions. These are taster sessions so people can try it out for a minimal cost. All boats and equipment are provided for these open sessions. We have qualified paddlers to look after nonmembers to keep them safe and run through pointers on how to improve and get the most out of their chosen craft on the water. We are open to all ages and abilities, and have a perfect track record of safety. Being on the water builds confidence and fitness for all, and is great fun. We have created a covid secure site on a Sunday where we keep people segregated with plenty of room, specific areas for own kit and loan kit, which is cleaned after every user, hand sanitisers and track and trace. We run training and coaching sessions to further the skills of club members on and off the water, and run several river trips throughout the year. Sometimes they are nice quiet river adventures and sometimes they are white water kayaking trips. All good fun and extremely safe and well organised. To join in on a Sunday please visit our website to book an open session and tell us what you would like to try. Also keep an eye on the site as we will be running an open day later on in the summer with fun and games for all.
