On Sunday 19 July there will be a big Active Devon sports day on the Quay in the form of a large "Come and Try It event". We will be offering canoeing as part of the day. We will need 30/40 volunteers with a range of skills from coaching to helping put on buoyancy aids, moving boats about, answering questions. The day runs from 11am to 4pm.

We would like two teams of helpers:
Morning: 9am to 1pm: take pontoon to the river next to Bar Venezia, paddle boats round, help with buoyancy aids, help with paddling on the water, answer questions,
Afternoon: 1pm to 5pm: help with paddling and buoyancy aids etc then take boats back to the club and return the pontoon to its usual place in the canal basin.
Please reply if you are able to help. You do not need to be a coach to help on the water.

Helpers from 9am
Jane (all day)
Mike Crispin (all day)
Mitch (all day from 10.15am)
John Wheeler (morning)
Fiona and Dale
Ben I
Stuart
Nigel Sharpe
Paul Hookway
John Lott

Helpers from 1pm
Ernie
Mike B
Rebecca
Jacqui
Jonathan (end of the afternoon)

    I can come am or pm, can't lift things at present but could do other jobs. What time would be best for me to come? Jacqui (am still in Wales, but back Thur am).

    Great afternoon, fun paddling and several youngsters interested in coming to club.

    Great you can help, thank you.

    Please come to the slipway next to Bar Venezia on the piazza as we will be paddling on the river.

    Thank you Mike. From previous years I know how much work that can be.
