We are a small, friendly, mixed club of enthusiastic canoeists, of all abilities, ages and interests. We cater for Civil Servants and employees of other bodies affiliated to CSSC Sports and Leisure, mainly based in the London area.
We meet weekly, and also have a programme of weekend trips, both locally and throughout the UK, as well as holidays abroad. Our current interests are touring, white water and sea kayaking.
For newcomers, this site aims to give you an introduction to the Club, and what we get up to; tell you how to contact us for more details, to join etc.
For members, the site aims to provide a useful reference source - for the latest Calendar information, Club rules, forms etc, plus links to useful web sites etc, including information on canoeing elsewhere in the UK, and on other sports and leisure activities available in the Civil Service.
New guidebook by Peter Knowles
The South East of England has long been neglected in terms of canoeing guidebooks so any new guidebook covering the area would be welcome. This one is particularly well designed and illustrated with maps and photographs and contains lots of useful detail for planning trips. Although the suggested trips are on the whole rather shorter than we would expect to do in a day of inland touring, they include suggestions for extending the trips and also mention other paddling possibilities nearby. Certain members will appreciate the numerous references to riverside tea shops, cafes and pubs. Judging by the entries for the River Mole and Shepperton, which we have recently paddled, the information is accurate and well researched. All in all this book is highly recommended for anyone planning an inland canoe or kayak touring trip in the area bounded by Southampton to the West and Cambridge to the North.
