BGCC FULL MOON PADDLERS
If anyone would like to change venues for some of the Full Moon Paddles in 2012, please send me your ideas.
PROPOSED ITINERARY:
* Friday 4th May, 6:30 p.m. paddle start: 96% full moon rising at 3:40 p.m.
Please let John Preston know if you intend participating.
In the interests of all concerned, no K1's for this paddle. There are a number of suitable club kayaks available to be used on the night.
Remember PFD's are compulsory for these events.
A change of clothes and a sense of humour are good to bring along.

The Burley Griffin Canoe Club will be running Introduction to Kayaking courses
Courses will be held again from October (dates to be confirmed)
The aim of the course will be to introduce you to the sport of kayaking and to deliver the skills necessary to use a recreational kayak safely, in calm, flat-water conditions close to shore.
The course is run over 2 days and will commence at 8.30 a.m. till around 10.30 a.m.
The course will cover a short introduction to a variety of boats and paddles, safety issues, entry and exit techniques, basic paddling techniques, what to do in a capsize.
Saturday we will practice technique on the shore then try a variety of boats in front of the beach area. We will then take a short paddle up the river. Sunday we will revise some of the techniques learnt on Saturday and go for a longer paddle to the Carillon if possible, practicing a forward stroke and also learning some other basic strokes.
Boats, paddles, PFD’s will be supplied, you will need to wear something comfortable which you won’t mind getting wet. Please bring a water to drink, sunscreen, a hat and a change of clothes.
