Saturday Paddle RoKT to Brighouse

Posted on July 25, 2014 by Andrew Carden Recreation

The inaugurall paddle from RoKT site to Battye ford was undertaken by 17 intrepid paddlers last Saturday. The group thought they were paddling 4.5miles(approx) and 5 weirs/drops, the route was probably closer to 6 miles but the afternon was utterly fantastic and will certainly become regular part if the program. The new paddlers were great bunch, great company.

Big thanks to Mark for leading the way from ROKT Climbing Gym to Battyeford this afternoon, ably assisted by David, John and Smiler.

If you intrested in taking part this Saturday get down to RoKT for 1pm, check ouit the club calender for details. http://www.penninecanoeclub.org.uk/?p=981

Rob Jefferies needs your support

Posted on July 25, 2014 by Andrew Carden Uncategorized

I have just set up a crowdfunding page to help me get to the senior european championships next year.

I am asking if anyone could pledge a small amount as anything counts and if you could share it with your wider circle, after all we are a club and we should be able to count on one another for support however small that support may be.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask me.
