River Evenings

Thursday night paddles commence in May and continue until the end of August from 6.45 to approximately 8.30pm. This is the time when the skills learnt in the pool can be put into practice on the River Ouse at Bishopthorpe in York. This is the base for the clubs river trips and the area where equipment is issued. Trips can go up or down the river for approximatley 2 miles and the long distance group go further up river for the approximately 5 miles. Fun games such as Polo and raft games are played on a Thursday night and star testing can also be done during these sesions to gain skill proficiency awards.

This is followed by a trip to the local pub where many people go for a chat and sandwhich after the nights fun!
