As a section of the Camping and Caravanning Club, all our camping events are open to Camping and Caravanning Club members (including Canoe-camping Club members) only. Anyone participating must be a member of the Camping and Caravanning Club before attending a meet.

Please remember to bring your Club membership cards to all club events, since we are required to check and record memberships are current.  We also need to record BRITISH CANOEING numbers for those who have them. Paddlers need to be a member of the Canoe-camping Club and/or one of Britain's paddlesport National Governing Bodies*.   These are needed to ensure that we are covered by the Club's and British Canoeing's insurance.
Canoeing and kayaking are ‘assumed risk’ ‘water contact’ activities, however serious accidents are very rare.
Participants should be aware of and accept these risks, and be responsible for their own action and involvement.
All participants in club trips or meets do so at their own risk, and neither the Club nor its officers can accept any liability for loss or injury of any kind sustained whilst on a Club trip, meet or other activity.

Cruise to mark the re-opening of the waterways around the Olympic Park 

Starting from Old Ford Lock at 11am, around to the Cross Rail intersection, back to Old Ford Lock, continuing down the navigation, taking the channel to City Mill Lock (levels to be set for the gates to be open) and up the Waterworks River into the R  Lea beyond Carpenters Lock. The cruise will finish on the R Lea after exploring this stretch of river that is designated for Paddlesport in the QEOP.

A circular trip back to Old Ford Lock has not been possible to arrange and drivers will have to be returned to their vehicles at Old Ford Lock. 

Distance – up to 6 miles, no locks.

The paddlers cruise will be separate to the power boats event which commences at 2pm when 80 narrow boats are expected to participate. Olympic Waterways require paddlers to be clear of the winding point at Carpenters Lock by 2pm.  The paddlers are likely to be clear of Carpenters Lock by 1pm and after having a look at the R Lea be off the water some time after 2pm

Car Parking is limited at Old Ford Lock. Can we ask for expressions of interest to attend as soon as possible and advising that everyone will have to share transport and have two or three boats per car as spaces have to be allocated to other clubs.
