Rickmansworth Festival 2015 Success
Rickmansworth Festival 2015 Chairman's Report I write to you at the end of what has been an extremely successful weekend for our great club. Across the 16th / 17th of May the Nomad Kayak Club supported the annual Rickmansworth Festival, the event was held at our home waters in the beautiful Rickmansworth Aquadrome.

Rickmansworth Festival 16th/17th May 2015
Next weekend is the Rickmansworth Festival and your club needs your help to promote the club and let festival goers know who we are and what we do. This means we can recruit more members and remain a healthy and active club. To promote the club, we will have an information stand at the clubhouse and we will be running ‘Come and Try’ sessions on Saturday 17th at 1pm, 3pm & 4.30pm and Sunday 18th 11.30am, 1pm & 3.30pm.

Aquadrome Bridge Closure
3rd - 8th November Just a quick note to say that the Aquadrome Bridge is closed to cars for maintenance this week. Works are due to be complete by next week but there is a chance that it will take longer. Club members will have to park elsewhere and walk in on Wednesday. We will let you know if there are any updates.
Mid-Week Recreational Sessions
As of 1st October the Aquadrome car park closes daily at 6pm; this coupled with coach availability and ever decreasing daylight means that this Wednesday (24th September) will be the last mid-week recreational session of the year. Over the last 5 months, Wednesday evening recreational sessions have run continuously. Thanks to all members who attended the sessions particularly the coaches/experienced paddlers who ran/supervised the sessions. Mid-week sessions will restart again in April/May next year. Sunday recreational sessions (10am till 12pm) will continue as normal throughout the winter months.
