As we continue to be Stronger Together in 2018, our National Conference aims to bring together club officers, club coaches and volunteers who all contribute to the growth and development of our sport in their club setting.
The conference will provide the latest insights from across canoeing to keep your club up to date, helping them to feel better informed, better equipped and even stronger together.
Key workshop themes will include: updates on qualifications and the online portal, safeguarding, the club experience, marketing your club, organising an event and women and girls.
Most importantly, the day will encourage clubs to take the opportunity to learn from each other, share best practice and develop networks between the experts on the ground.
Costs: Free for British Canoeing Members and Associate Club Members, £45 for Non-Members
