Rolling is best learned in a pool - it's clean and warm, and easy for someone to stand next to you and help if things don't go to plan!
However, it can be hard to make progress without regular practice. This is why we're running an intensive rolling clinic - four sessions over two weeks. While we don't guarantee you'll be rolling by the end of the course, this format maximises your chances of getting from zero to hero!
You will need to bring:
The course will be held in a heated outdoor pool. If the weather is inclement - it's the British summertime, after all - consider a cag or similar for warmth when hanging around.
As always, any questions please ask!

KENT CANOES DEMO DAY
3rd August 10:00 - 12:00
Join us for a Boat Demo day with Sam from Kent Canoes.
This is a great opportunity to try out a variety of shiny new paddling equipment while enjoying a fun day on the River Medway.
You can expect to try out a range of different style boats and paddles; so if you're in the market for a new toy or just want to get a better idea of what's available this is the perfect opportunity to do so.
Throughout the day you will also get to know Sam, our local canoe shop owner who is knowledgeable on all things paddling. He will be there to help you answer any questions you might have about building your paddling collection. And as if things couldn't get any better Sam offers a 15% loyalty discount for MCC club members!
So if you're a newbie or a seasoned paddler; thinking about your first buy, upgrading to a new boat, or just curious to know what's available — this Boat Demo day is the perfect hands-on experience.
We look forward to seeing you on the water!
Invitation received from Bewl Water Canoe Club offering us an afternoon paddle on Sat 21 Jun, say 1400-1630, followed by a BBQ 1700-1830, then an opportunity to get back on the water for an hour or so because the Rangers are providing safety cover until dusk.
This is considered open water so please ensure you have the skills to give this a go.
Ever wanted to try a Kayak, Canoe or Stand Up Paddle Board (SUP)? We have another open day on the 28th June! See more information under come and paddle!
