Events Calendar

In the winter season (Oct - April) PCC meets every Tuesday night at Clennon Valley swimming Pool. Please keep an eye on the forum and our facebook page to see whats on week to week.

Summer 2012

Unless otherwise stated, all events are Tuesday evening club paddles starting at 7pm and, except for longer paddles, go on till 9pm.

MAY
For the first 5 weeks in May we will be meeting at 7pm Paignton harbour. There is no parking on the harbour side! You may drive in to drop off your boats but you will need to then find a parking space elsewhere. Please be aware of other harbour users, keep boats away from the slipway & away from any marked pedestrian areas.

The club trailer with the kit will be brought to these harbour sessions but those on the course will get first choice of boat.

After the four May paddles from the harbour we will meet at Young’s Park Road (YPR) Goodington. There are no facilities there! Please respect the locals by changing quietly & discretely at the end of the sessions. The trailer will NOT be brought to any other Tuesday sessions as it is impossible to park it most places we go to.

Anyone wishing to hire club kit for a paddle will need to organize this with a Committee Member at least 2 days before.
