<p>JonathanStutters: /* Club Facilities */ Raised storage price to £120</p> <hr /> <div>{{NOTOC}}<br /> ===Tuesdays===<br /> <br /> ;What happens on a Tuesday evening?<br /> :Typically, we will have training groups working on the [[BCU Discover]] and [[BCU Explore]] awards on [[Shadwell Basin]], a group or two out for a paddle on the Thames (to Greenwich or Waterloo, depending on tides) and a [[polo]] session. In addition there will sometime [[Open canoeing|open boat]] sessions and sessions focussing on specific skills such as rolling or rescues.<br /> ;What time should I arrive on a Tuesday?<br /> :We plan to be on the water at 7:00 p.m. - at which time equipment is locked away. We recommend you arrive at 6:30 p.m. to give yourself time to change, select equipment and join a coaching group.<br /> <br /> ===Courses===<br /> ;Do you offer private courses?<br /> :No. Our coaches are volunteer club members who give their time on a Tuesday night for the simple fun of meeting new people and passing on their love of paddling. If you need something more specific have a look at the list of commercial coaches on our [[links|links page]].<br /> ;Do you offer courses for groups?<br /> :No. We have a high demand for our [[course for beginners]] and it would be unfair to allow block booking.<br /> ;I have paddled before do I need to do the beginners' course?<br /> :Our beginners' course will get you to the [[BCU Discover]] level. If you already have higher level BCU or overseas awards or have paddled to a higher level than this then there is no need to do the beginners' course. If you paddled a few times in school or did the BCU One Star award years ago then it is probably worth doing the course. <br /> ;I want to book a course but the date is not open yet. Can I reserve it with you in advance?<br /> :No. Please wait until the course you want is available. The [[course for beginners - Booking form|booking page]] gives an indication of when this will be.<br /> <br /> ===Club Facilities===<br /> <br /> ;What kit do you provide?<br /> :We have boats of a variety of different types, paddles, buoyancy aids, spray decks and waterproof paddling tops ('cags'). We aim to provide basic to intermediate level kit so that members can try most aspects of paddlesport with [[Club equipment|the club kit]], but as they get more specialised we encourage them to buy their own. <br /> ;Can I store my boat at the club?<br /> :We have limited boat storage and we prioritise the space for club boats. There is some space for active members' boats and these are offered at the discretion of the committee to active members at a rate of £120 p.a. Speak to a member of the [[committee]] if you would like to be added to the waiting list for storage space.<br /> <br /> ===River Thames===<br /> <br /> ;Can I paddle on the River Thames?<br /> :Club members with the [[BCU Sea Kayak Award]], or an equivalent qualification, can paddle on the Thames in a group of no less than three. If you have done your [[BCU Explore]] award in the club, there will be opportunities to go out on the Thames buddied up with a qualified paddler.<br /> ;Do you have information about possible put-ins, get-outs, landing spots etc on the Thames Tideway?<br /> :Yes. One of our members has put together a guide to the Tideway (and other coastal locations in the area) and this is available on our [[SeaAccess|sea access page]].<br /> ;Where can I find future tidal predictions for the Thames Tideway?<br /> :The [[Port of London Authority]] publishes tide data up to a year in advance on the [http://www.pla.co.uk/display_fixedpage.cfm/id/11/site/recreation leisure section of their web site].</div>

Taster sessions are held once a month and cost £15 (+ booking fee). The session includes an assessment of your personal paddling skills.<br /> <br /> You will be asked to demonstrate that you can competently do the following in your chosen craft:<br /> * Maintain a straight course<br /> * Execute turns<br /> * Manoeuvre sideways<br /> * Paddle backwards<br /> * Come to an abrupt stop<br /> * Perform a wet exit from your chosen craft<br /> * Perform a wet exit from a closed-cockpit kayak while wearing a spray deck (if different to your chosen craft)<br /> <br /> If you have any formal awards / qualifications, we may ask for evidence of your certification. If you decide to join the club, you will be required to link your British Canoeing profile with THCC.<br /> <br /> If you pass the assessment successfully, you may be able to join some of the other activities taking place that evening or continue to paddle with the Instructor for the remainder of the session. You will also be invited to join the Club.
