Addlestone Canoe Club (Runnymede Water Activities Centre) was founded under the umbrella of Surrey Youth Service with the objective of providing quality instruction and education in the sport of Canoeing, mainly for young people of Runnymede and its adjacent districts. However, we welcome canoeists and newcomers of any age and standing and run extensive programmes to suit all levels, ages and interest groups.
All our instructors/coaches are recognised by the BCU (British Canoeing Union) for their relevant levels and disciplines and they all work on a voluntary basis, devoting their time and energy to bring their favourite sport to as many interested people as possible.
We run introductory sessions and basic training for beginners during the summer months at our premises at Burcott Gardens in New Haw/Addlestone, including courses to the official BCU 1*-3* Awards, and Paddlepower, a tailor-made educational programme for young people in canoeing. Indoors rolling tuition is available once a week.
Moreover, we offer regular taster sessions for many canoeing disciplines such as slalom, marathon racing, white water paddling, freestyle paddling, canoe polo and Canadian canoeing, and for most of those also run continuous training. Regular trips away for white water river running, canoe surfing and sea kayaking are a standard part of our activities, as are BCU 4*/5* courses and touring and paddling holidays in the UK and abroad.
Probably the most diversified Club in the region, ACC has been a BCU Top Community Club since 1999 because of its successful work throughout the range of canoeing activities with beginners and advanced paddlers of all ages and abilities; and in 2000 has achieved the runner-up Runnymede Disability Access Award for its work with chidren with learning difficulties. We are sure you will find something to catch your interest, too.
Come and meet our friendly instructors, try canoeing and make new friends to share some great adventures.
