A few comments to Rich d’s post,
1, agree with an extra fee for none members. as long as it isnt a massive tryweryn type increase.
2. I am organizing a lakes weekend for WFCC, no reason why the capable guys couldnt come along. grade 3/4 paddling last weekend in novemeber. £50 a head for accomidation at the Holly how YHA.
3. scotland yes please.
4. would be useful and advantaous. As for deep water rescues i would suggest that unless we are doing massive lake paddling or sea kayaking it not very beneficial as most rivers we paddle the banks are close and you wouldnt be able to do any deep water rescues.
5. club kit seems good for the pool. main lacking is if we go outdoors it is facilitated by borrowing members kit. but is this something the club wants to fund ?
6. Lee Valley assessments – I think it might be worth having somewhere on the website a list of paddlers achievements star awards, BCU levels and lee valley assessments. Firstly its useful to know who has passed the assessments for organizing a trip, secondly its a good gauge of the level of paddlers.
