We welcome all members and newcomers. Here is some guidance on how to sign up or join us for trips and regular sessions…


Please note: DCKC is entirely volunteer run. All sessions rely on group participation to make them happen – this can involve cleaning, stowing or moving kayaks or other equipment, helping other club members on or off the water, and just generally being part of the collective spirit of events. Please only turn up if you are happy to get involved and be a part of the team with the rewards that brings.

To Come along to your first DCKC Session - New Members 🙂

If you have kayaked/canoed before and want to come along for a taster session, please contact our membership secretary – membership [at] dckc.co.uk – about when is a good time to come along, so we can make sure we have someone on hand to greet you / help you get sorted. Please also print/write your name and emergency details on a sheet of paper and take it along with you.

If you are looking to start with some beginners or introductory sessions, then these take place every second month in odd months or year (Months 1,3,5,7,9 and 11 = Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov). To confirm a place please contact our membership secretary to check that there will be space/equipment for you.

If you are looking to join a trip contact the trip leader to see what experience is required (usually available on club calendar entry). Please bring emergency contact details with you if the leader is happy for you to come along.
