SUMMARY:Pinkston DCKC Sessions 2026
DESCRIPTION:Pinkston Watersports is an artificial white water course in the outskirts of Glasgow. The club have a regular Thursday night slot which runs from 8pm to 9.30pm. It is a great place to learn the basics of paddling in moving water or to develop and hone river or sea skills. \nWe are also able to access the “basin” (a flat water section) at 7.30pm to warm up. \nWe have a dedicated and trained member who ensures safety throughout the evening and adjusts the pumps to the required flow. We normally vary the number of pumps during the session depending on the group. We mainly run on 2 pumps but may switch to 1 pump for those new to moving water or to 3 pumps for the more adventurous. \nThere are normally a range of experienced paddlers or coaches around to offer informal advice but we also run specific coached sessions too. Contact us on pinkston@dckc.co.uk to find out more. \nWe have a number of boats stored at Pinkston which cater for all sizes as well as wetsuits\, paddlers\, helmets etc. Price £10 / (DCKC Members Under 18s £5) \nMonklands Canoe Club \nThe session is run together with the lovely people from Monklands Canoe Club. \nGuest Paddlers from SCA Clubs and SCA Members\nWe are able to offer guest spaces to members of SCA affiliated clubs (or an SCA member). Key information is noted below: \nTimes: Thursdays – access to the white water course is from 8pm to 9.30pm.\nFormat: We mix up the number of pumps being used depending on who is there\, but typically have a period of 2 pumps every night and sometimes some 1 pump time for newer paddlers.\nBooking: Contact us at info@dckc.co.uk to let us know how many people will be attending\, names\nand\, skill level\nCosts: £10 (basin-only is £5) – there is no cost for borrowing a boat or other kit at Pinkston.\nRemember to remove any ropes or tapes from your boat and equipment.

SUMMARY:Pinkston DCKC Sessions 2026
DESCRIPTION:Pinkston Watersports is an artificial white water course in the outskirts of Glasgow. The club have a regular Thursday night slot which runs from 8pm to 9.30pm. It is a great place to learn the basics of paddling in moving water or to develop and hone river or sea skills. \nWe are also able to access the “basin” (a flat water section) at 7.30pm to warm up. \nWe have a dedicated and trained member who ensures safety throughout the evening and adjusts the pumps to the required flow. We normally vary the number of pumps during the session depending on the group. We mainly run on 2 pumps but may switch to 1 pump for those new to moving water or to 3 pumps for the more adventurous. \nThere are normally a range of experienced paddlers or coaches around to offer informal advice but we also run specific coached sessions too. Contact us on pinkston@dckc.co.uk to find out more. \nWe have a number of boats stored at Pinkston which cater for all sizes as well as wetsuits\, paddlers\, helmets etc. Price £10 / (DCKC Members Under 18s £5) \nMonklands Canoe Club \nThe session is run together with the lovely people from Monklands Canoe Club. \nGuest Paddlers from SCA Clubs and SCA Members\nWe are able to offer guest spaces to members of SCA affiliated clubs (or an SCA member). Key information is noted below: \nTimes: Thursdays – access to the white water course is from 8pm to 9.30pm.\nFormat: We mix up the number of pumps being used depending on who is there\, but typically have a period of 2 pumps every night and sometimes some 1 pump time for newer paddlers.\nBooking: Contact us at info@dckc.co.uk to let us know how many people will be attending\, names\nand\, skill level\nCosts: £10 (basin-only is £5) – there is no cost for borrowing a boat or other kit at Pinkston.\nRemember to remove any ropes or tapes from your boat and equipment. Junior tickets are available for U18s. \nGuest paddlers : Notes for U18’s: we request you are accompanied by a responsible adult who is a qualified coach/4 star WW leader. This adult must accompany the U18 paddler and be responsible for them at all times. If coming as a club then the relevant club’s PVG procedure for the U18 member should be followed.

SUMMARY:Angus Crozier Memorial Paddle
DESCRIPTION:Memorable paddle for us to share fond memories of Angus.   Kayaking was a real passion for Angus who paddled with many groups.  As such people from Lothian\, Fife\, and Falkirk have also expressed interest in joining the paddle.   Given the East coast was a popular haunt the paddle is most likely to be from Aberdour to Inchcolm or around Dunbar area – weather dependant.  Please contact Leigh Murray if you would like to participate 07748326210
