Session 1 - Introduction to sea kayaking - Thursday 30th July

- getting comfortable in the boat
- building on strokes learnt at 1 * - forward, backward, sweep, edging,
bracing, draw.
- use of skeg etc
 
Session 2 - focus on rescues etc, towing etc - Thursday 6th August
 
Session 3 - focus on forward paddling - Thursday 13th August
 
Session 4 -  will be a trip somewhere - we've yet to confirm the date but its likely to be a Saturday.  This will build on everything we've learnt and be a chance to enjoy just being out on the water!
 
If you're interested in joining in, then  please drop Anne a line. There are six places and these will be allocated on a first come first serve to those who can make all / most of the dates!
 
If you could also let Anne know whether or not you'll need some club kit that would be great so she can get it booked out for you...and can you also let her know whether or not you can transport boats!

Newsflash

The club is running a special sea kayking pool session on Friday 19th February at the Inverness Aquadome. Starting at 9pm as usual, £4 per person.

Teaching will focus on sea kayaking skills and will be provided by some of the club's top sea kayak coaches.

Due to the size of sea kayaks, we unfortunately have to limit numbers. For this reason, we ask that you book in advance; booking is on a first come, first served basis and, for this evening only, if your name's not on the list, you're not getting in - sorry!

Booking requests and enquiries to Anne Murray: anneelizabethmurray@yahoo.co.uk 

News Flash: the sea kayaking pool session is now fully booked. However, if you would still like to go, please contact Anne Murray to get your name on the reserve list.
