The second Paddlesport event took place at Beale Park on Sunday 4th October. Many thanks to Sam, Madi, Alfie, Jacob, Josie and Charlotte for their brilliant paddling in the canoes.

The first Paddlesport event of the 2009/2010 series took place at Reading Canoe club on Saturday 12 September. The triathlon consisted of a run (1k for under 13 and 2k for over 13) followed by a 4 k paddle and a short swim in the river.

The next event will be the open canoe orienteering at Beale Park on October 4th.

We have a strong youth section and we welcome both experienced and new paddlers..
