River lessons occur each Thursday during the summer from 6:30pm. BCU star tests for Kayak and Canoe are taught during these sessions with tests taken towards the end of the summer, often allowing for a few weeks afterwards in which to simply enjoy paddling. River lessons are only open to members and places are limited.
All members must abide by the club rules at all times during river lessons.
Lessons are available for all abilities using the BCU PaddlePower and Star Awards. A description of the PaddlePower award can be found below:
