Bristol Canoe Club is a club for paddlers in the Bristol area.

[ Summer 2020. Please see our separate page regarding membership applications during the CoronaVirus situation: Membership applications during Covid-19 ]

We are a very active club, and we do lots of things – see the Calendar page for the latest info, but also we do a lot of trips at short notice, organised via our members-only email list.

We are involved in white-water paddling, flatwater racing, polo, plus general leisure.

For more information, please see the General Information link, Membership, Contacts, or any of the pages available from the menus at the top of the page.

Our online membership sign-up with webcollect is here: Bristol Canoe Club webcollect page, but we’d prefer if you come down to one of our sessions and say hello before signing up.

The club will be organising a beginner’s course for adults in May and June 2012, to gain the British Canoe Union (BCU) 1-star qualification. The course will consist of four 2-hour sessions on Bristol docks, on Thursday evenings from 6pm, plus a fifth week when you can try out some of the club’s other boats. This course will cost £60, which also includes membership of Bristol Canoe Club for the remainder of the year.

This course will begin on Thursday 17th May, and go through to 14th June. If you are interested, please email our enquiries address.
