About
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,
then look at Interested in Joining or the

Trips & Events:
 |
The Winter Trips
are now completed. We await the summer trip list to be published...
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.
