Hello and thanks for visiting Eastwood and East Kilbride Canoe Club!
We are a very friendly club with the emphasis being on paddling with friends, whether it's rivers, sea or lochs. It doesn't matter where you paddle as long as you're having fun.
Our Friday loch training sessions now running
We meet in the summer months at James Hamilton Park on Friday evenings from 7.30pm until dark. In the winter we have regular pool time on a Friday night from 8.30pm. If you'd like to come along, please let us know you're coming. We are affiliated to the Scottish Canoe Association and have appropriate Public Liability insurance. We follow the SCA guidelines on child protection.
We have a wide range of ages in the club from under 8 over 60, there are lots of families as well as individuals so you're sure to get a warm welcome. We also offer coaching for those who want to develop their skills further. We are pleased to say the club is now big enough to be growing our own coaches and we have a good corps of competent and importantly - friendly - coaches to help everyone in the club.
We are not just a white water club. We have an enthusiastic sea paddling team and at least one enthusiastic white water canoeist who is trying hard to convert others! (If you don't know the difference between a canoe and a kayak - don't worry, we'll soon explain!).
We have a range of equipment members can borrow so don't worry if you don't have your own boat!
We look forward to meeting you!
