Simon Exley

I'll be running a paddlesport safety and rescue course for the club, location to be decided but likely killington or brown howe. The paddlesport safety and rescue course is a one day course looking at rescue strategies for rescuing sup, sit on tops, canoes and kayaks on flat water. It is a pre-requiste for anyone planning on doing their paddlesport instructor. There will be a cost for this course, it will be £10 to cover the cost of certification from Paddle UK

Due to insufficient numbers, this has been postponed and will be moved to another date. This is a placeholder for an RYA VHF Course and Exam, the plan is to run this in Cumbria, just south of Windermere. More details will be posted here once available, but this should be the date. If you want to do it, but can't make the date. Please let me know. Regards Simon
