LLANDYSUL PADDLERS
THE CANOE CLUB

Llandysul Paddlers Canoe Club is based in West
Wales and was founded in 1984 by Chris Berry and Trevor Grace. The club has had
many great years with membership continuing to increase at a steady pace.
The club has seen lots of changes over the years
and the most dynamic of these was "Project 94". This was a document that was put
together to help plan the future of the club.
In 1997 we managed to secure funding from the
Local Authority, European backing, the Welsh Canoeing Association and the
Foundation for the sports and arts. This was used to start "Project 94" and we
managed to develop the two vacant houses next the river Teifi in Llandysul into
the clubhouse that is used today.
The main club activities are Slalom, Freestyle,
Surf and Canadian Canoeing. We welcome families, disabled, competitive and
recreational paddlers. There is no age limit and everyone is welcome.
The membership fees for the club have not gone
up for many years and are £20 for a full adult member, £10 for non paddling
adults, £10 for all under 18's, £10 for students or the unemployed. Family
membership is £45.
The club is run by a committee that meets every
2 months to discuss future developments.
We hold regular training sessions in Llandysul
Swimming Pool and on the river Teifi.
If you would like any further information on the
club or you would like to become a member please contact Gareth Bryant on 01559
