The North West Paddle Festival will be back for a third year in October.
This annual event will incorporate coaching, competitions and entertainment for all levels of kayakers and canoeists. The main aim is to encourage more people into the sport, from universities and clubs to families and local young people.
Last year there were introduction to white water courses, flat water tuition and 'have a go' sessions for complete beginners plus competitions for teams and individuals with some great prizes! This year should incorporate all this and some improvements, as usual there will be Demo boats available from lots of the manufacturers for you try Brookbank Canoes will be there if you need any kit and camping will be available on Friday and Saturday nights with evening entertainment.
We are are aiming to make this year the best one yet so hopefully see you there!
