GWC 400 Club draw results for October 2014
We would encourage all members and friends of the GWC clubs to join the GWC 400 Club. With the granting of the planning permission for the new extensions and with it, the purchase of the total grass area by the Centre on a very long lease, we are into a new phase of fund raising.
All profits from the 400 Club go to paying off the current Guildford Waterside Centre's loans and fund raising for the new developments at the Centre.
We have now firmed up on the contacts for the works and Main Hall extension will start in November together with the New Kayak Store. If all goes well and funds come in, we hope to be finished by Easter 2015.
Full details on how to join can be found on the Wey Kayak Club website www.weykayak.co.uk. They are also attached here.
Each 'ticket' cost just £2.00 a month and can be paid for by monthly Standing Order if more convenient.
Do not forget to get your ticket before the big bonus draw in December. £200 at least up for grabs.

Saturday Afternoon junior sessions 13:00
We are going to restart the Saturday 13:00 session on the 13th Sept. This, like the morning session, will cater for beginners up to about marathon Div 7 and will aim to help paddlers progress into racing. All Juniors are welcome whether you have been paddling regularly or are new to the club.
You are welcome to switch between mornings and afternoons so you can paddle even if another activity or school event gets in the way of your regular session. The morning session does have more coaches available so if you have no real preference mornings are good!
Any questions please get in touch with Dave Martyn (martyndj@bp.com)

Saturday 13:00 Junior Sessions During the Summer Holidays
During the school holidays we are not going to run the Saturday 13:00 session for juniors, there will be space for anyone who usually paddles in the afternoon to join the Saturday morning session at 10am. This is to ensure we always have sufficient coaches to run safe and enjoyable sessions. We intend to restart in September, we will put a note on the website when the time comes.
Any questions to Dave Martyn or Mick Luck.

Royal Sprint Regatta 12th July - a great first event for junior paddlers
All – Royal canoe club in Teddington is running a regatta for juniors on the 12th July between 12:00 and about 16:00. This would be a great event to attend if you have never been to a race before as it is local, only for juniors and will be a sociable event.
Full details can be found here.
We need to be at Royal by 10:30 so will meet at Wey at 9:30. If necessary the club trailer will be taken to carry enough boats for everyone.
Any junior is welcome however fast or slow. If you have never raced before talk to a coach or just sign up for the event and see what happens – you have nothing to lose!
Please sign up on the notice board at the club or email Dave Martyn on transatlanticmover@hotmail.com to say you want to attend.

National Go Canoeing Week
Thanks to everyone who recorded the distance they paddled over the previous nine days (Saturday 24 May to Sunday 1 June). In all 77 members of Wey Kayak Club completed 2387 km, or 1492 miles in old money. This was registered on the Go Canoeing website. Unfortunately this appears to have taken the website by suprise as it replied with the following message:
We'll wait and see!
Funny as there are lots of names missing, possibly put off by the lack of poster space, because they were competing internationally or maybe they are just keeping their training a secret! I wonder what the true total might have been!

42nd Wey Marathon (Hasler Series)
The Lightning Class (children) course is 3 miles long, and the shortest adult course is about 4 miles long (into town and back plus a little bit - see map) with no portages, so there's no excuse not to give it a go. A fun day for everyone. There will be refreshments (barbeque and the bar will be open), and hopefully the sun will shine for us.
Email weymarathon(at)weykayak.co.uk or talk to a coach at the club for more information. An entry form is available on the website.
