AGM will be on the 27th January 2012 - Starts at 8:00 in the small room down stairs in Aberfan Community Centre. We will only be running 1 session from 7:00 to 7:40. 

FRIDAY NIGHTS HAVE CHANGED AGAIN - We are going to be split into 3 x 40 minute sessions. This will allow us to have a maximum of 12 paddlers per session.

There will be no difference in the cost of the pool sessions at £3:00 per person. If you have  any questions, please ask one of the coaches. (Click Hear)
