1/2 Star training

2 star training in kayak and canoe will start in April or May 2011 with Mary and Lesley .  It is hoped that 2* assessment will be undertaken in August or September.  The cost of the sessions is likely to be £5/week and this will go into a fund for coach development within the club.
