Guidance on the skills needed to take the 2-Star
Assessment is provided as part of the Tuesday evening and Friday
evening sessions for Intermediate level club members. So come along
on those evenings at 6:00pm and have some fun whilst learning the
extra strokes and rescues (Draw, Support and X-Rescues - see
Paddle Stokes).

probably, the final assessment on a trip round the
Exeter Canal/River loop early in September.
