-The Club has access to the [[Pool|St Georges Pool]] on The Highway near Shadwell station. During the winter months we normally arrange exclusive use of the small training pool located behind the Pool's reception area from 19:45 - 20:45 on select Tuesdays. Dates booked for pool use will be communicated via the forum as we usually only book this pool during Nov - Apr. Groups of paddlers wishing to learn or practice skills especially in the colder winter months can use this area provided they are accompanied by a Level 1 qualified coach, and no more than 8 in a group.
+The Club has access to the pool at Brittania Leisure Centre.  See the forum for details about pool sessions.

 After paddling we go to the [[Prospect of Whitby|pub]]. This where a lot of trips, equipment purchase orders, day paddles and other activities are organised and members can get to know each other or catch up.  Once a month we also hold a [[BBQ]] at the basin after paddling.
