So its time once again to plan that lovely get away this time in Scotland: dates 26 June to 5th July ( including journey up and back). The River Spey is one of Britain's most iconic white water rivers following the whisky trail through the Highlands taking in Loch Insch, Aviemore, Granton and fun rapids along the journey such as the Washing Machine, Knockandoo and plenty of places to learn skills. So would be rude not to paddle it in a canoe as its the most iconic canoe WW trip in Britain. Also plan to paddle some of the Findhorn ( a large river with 4 whitewater runs from the grade 2 to up to grade 4 depending on whos coming ) first come first served as at present I am the only leader and coach on this trip and yes its traditional canoes only. Plans for the trip will be agreed depending on who wants to go but be assured the traditional grade 1-2(3) Spey will be paddled possibly from beginning to the bay. Plan is for us to stay at hotels or air BNB accommodation, shared driving for shuttles and to have a chill out adventure. what's not to enjoy
any questions give me a email Davidjcoan@hotmail.com

It's time once again for the annual Atcham Church Fete and Duck Race!
Sun 5th July 2.00 - 5-00 pm.
You know, the usual tombola, bric a brac and for us, getting on the water and catching Ducks! (only the plastic ones!)
This then allows us to use Paradise field for the rest of the year, which is just before the bridge and great for beginners to practice ferry Gliding. So PLEASE help! It's a lovely bit of flatwater fun!
We need canoes, kayaks and SUPs to sit below the bridge and, when the ducks are released, go catch them pack them back up for next year! We then have tea and cake and the knowledge we have helped a local charity event.
Time on the water 15:00 at the field. Ducks released about 15:30. Kids welcome to come and help, bring your nets or grabbers or just your hands and have fun or come early to enjoy the fete. We need about 10 boats and at least 3 canoes to stand a chance of grabbing the little yellow plastic slippery ducks.
Any questions please speak to Andy Brooker on 07801 833044 who is coordinating this year. Thanks!
