Why you should join us at the 2021 Canoe Wales AGM (Mon 11 Oct)

Canoe Wales • Sep 27, 2021

Two weeks to go until the AGM... and here's why you should book a place!

The 2021 AGM will held online via Zoom on Monday 11 October from 7pm.


The Canoe Wales AGM is your chance to hear about updates over the last 12 months and future developments at Canoe Wales. You will be able to ask questions directly to the staff and directors and hear detailed reports relating to our activity and finances. The recovery from COVID-19 is a particularly important time for Canoe Wales to support the paddling community – so, if there is something you think you should be doing more of – now is your chance to let us know! 


Our staff and directors will be on hand throughout to answer any questions verbally or in the chat. We’ll also have Q&A sessions throughout and at the end of proceedings.


This year, as well as presenting the annual report and electing members to the Board of Directors, there will be two engaging presentations:

Stand Up Paddleboarding - A talk by Phil Scowcroft

Phil Scowcroft, Club Support Officer for British Canoeing, will be delivering a presentation on SUP. The talk will cover everything from the history and origins of SUP and its recent increase in popularity, to its gender equality, different SUP disciplines, activity ideas for SUP sessions and safety considerations - and will finish with a look at how SUP is evolving. This talk is intended to give members, clubs, providers and other affiliated organisations all the information you need to get started with SUP, and will finish with a short Q&A to ask any burning questions.

Amlwch Canoe Club's return from COVID-19 - A talk by Phil Edwards

Phil Edwards from Amlwch Canoe Club will be talking about how the club has made a very successful return from COVID-19. His talk will include how the club managed during lockdowns, how membership was affected, the return to paddling with changes to restrictions, activity run over the summer and how it coped with large numbers of new paddlers. Phil will close with a review of where the club is now, some learns and what could be done differently next time.
