We’re running an event on November 22nd for coaches from across London & the South East, and we could really use some help making sure everything runs smoothly.  We need a couple of people to man the tea urn and generally guide people around - please mail mark.corti@maidstonecanoeclub.net if you’re able to help.  The event runs 9am - 5pm - if you’re able to assist either all day or for a few hours it would really help to showcase MCC.

Seventy-five years ago this Thursday, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe was first published. Step through our metaphorical wardrobe into a magical Narnia of warm blue water, friendly paddlers, and free coaching from Mr Tumnus.

Pool session 16th October. BYO Turkish delight. No lions.

September 18th is World Water Monitoring Day [https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/water-monitoring-day/], as I’m sure you knew. We’ll be monitoring the water quality at Cranbrook Pool, primarily by falling out of our kayaks into it. See you there!”

Please find an alternative location if you wish to paddle on Sunday and are not in the Hasler race. The club will be unusually busy and there'll be lots of preparation taking place.
