About the club

We cater for both recreational and competitive paddlers who wish to take part in all forms of canoeing and kayaking in and around Cambridge. The club is based at our clubhouse on Sheeps Green next to the Newnham Recreation Ground in Cambridge. Activities take place all year round and include local and national paddling trips on both flat water and white water. We also have regular pool sessions at the Abbey Swimming Pool where beginners and experienced paddlers alike can practice technique and receive instruction in warm water conditions all year round. In addition we have land-based social events throughout the year. We welcome newcomers to the sport and have qualified instructors who can provide coaching to paddlers of all ages and ability levels.

We have a racing squad who compete at local and national level Marathon and Sprint competitions and welcome new experienced paddlers or beginners who wish to get involved in canoe or kayak racing.

The club holds regular club sessions at the clubhouse where a member is on duty to give information to visitors. In general these pages give basic information only. The Club is a friendly one, for people who primarily wish to canoe. Members are prepared to help others when requested, but the onus is on new members to ask questions, read notices, and attend Club events, competitive and social.

The club has no postal address so all correspondence must be with one of its officers.

The following email addresses will reach the appropriate committee member:
