Letter from the Chairman: Bristol Canoe Club Pool Sessions and Website Information
Dear Members,
Pool Sessions
Thank you for the very positive feedback I received from many members following my email on May 31st about moving our Pool Sessions from Wednesday to a Monday. We have now decided to work with Bristol South Pool and move our Club Pool Sessions to a Monday night. I am very sorry if some people are disappointed about this decision and hope you will be able to attend these new sessions in due course. As I said back in May, the Pool offered us a significant financial incentive on our hourly rate, which means we can avoid further increases on weekly pool fees – certainly in the shorter term. Hopefully, parking will be easier on a Monday night too.
The pool sessions will therefore recommence on Monday 23rd September, with the normal schedule of a general session between 8-00 – 8-45pm and the polo following on from 8-45 until 10-00pm.
Please continue to support the pool sessions as they are a critical part of the club for all disciplines and levels of ability. The pub sessions afterwards are inevitably lively too!
Club Website
I want to remind all members about our Club Website at www.bristolcanoeclub.org.uk and that it contains key information on our Canoe Club on what’s going on, including:
- Future events: Trips, competitions & races, social etc. e.g. Various Hasler Races and our next whitewater Dart Weekend.
- Reports from trips, competitions, and races as well as social session e.g. Sprint Canoe Demonstration at Bristol Harbour Festival 2024
- Club policy, Constitution, and procedures. Recent updated policies include (1) How to apply for boat storage and gate keep access, (2) our Youth Policy and (3) how to apply for a coaching bursary.
- Your representatives on the Club Committee.
Also, if there are any web designers out there who can suggest improvements to the website or feedback from the membership, then please let me know.
Wishing you all a great summer now its warmer and look forward to seeing you in a boat soon.
Best regards,
