Axe Vale Canoe
Club (AVCC)
The club is based in
Seaton, Devon and offers a
wide variety of canoeing disciplines including: touring, white water and
sea paddling.
 We have a range of fully equipped Canoes and kayaks
including all the personal kit to go with them: buoyancy aids, cags,
spray decks, helmets and over trousers. The club house has hot showers
and facilities for refreshments.
We have around 95 members but are always looking to
include new members to strengthen the club and provide you with new
skills and an enjoyable time paddling. If you are interested in how to join us
or our beginner and improvers courses,

Trips & Events:
 |
The Winter Trips List
is now published. The list covers the pool sessions, white water sessions and lots more. Remember
to bring warm clothes. lunch, drinks - see the winter kit list. Next Trips:
Book with Hays as these trips can be popular. Weather affects the plans and they may change,
so
you must check with Hays on the Saturday. |
 |
Ad-hoc trips may still occur depending on weather and
water conditions, so weekend trips are also arranged, on a "casual" basis,
including surfing or other paddles. Arrangements
are done via phone or Facebook - so look on Saturdays or ensure Phil/Tash
have your phone number if you are interested.
Note: Regrettably, the open Sidmouth Pool Sessions on
Wednesday evenings have had to be cancelled due to a lack of interest from
paddlers in the region. Thanks to Bod for running this for several years and
sorry to see them go. It was good to practice rolling in comfort in the winter
and for our juniors to perfect their playboating moves.
