Brookbank Lancaster Halton Demo Day Sunday 6th Feb

FAO All North West Canoe Clubs and Paddlers

Brookbank Lancaster are hosting a demo day in February at Halton Rapids on the River Lune. We will be bringing a wide variety of white water Demo kayaks to these events for all those attending to try out. We are hoping to get a good turn out from all the local canoe clubs and local paddlers. This Demo day will be completely free of charge to paddlers to try out any and all of the boats we bring along.

The event is planned for Sunday the 6th February 2011 and the event will run from 10am until 4pm or until everyone gets to cold and goes home. The event will be run from a car park at the top of Mill Lane next to Halton Rapids on river right of the Lune. It is just off junction 34 of the M6 at Lancaster and I have attached a map to our blog http://brookbanklancaster.blogspot.com/2011/01/halton-demo-day-sunday-feb-6th-2011.html to assist paddlers with the location of where the event will be run from and where vehicles can be parked during the event.

Obviously we will bring as many boats as possible and any special requests can be forwarded to myself at this email address and we will attempt to accommodate them, but also paddlers are encouraged to bring there own boats and generally just have a good day out on the water. Please note that paddlers will have to bring all there own kit and paddles as this will not be supplied.

If clubs and paddlers could send an email with any interest and some suggested numbers for attendance in order to give us some idea before the event it would be greatly appreciated. Also on receiving this email if there is anyone you can think of that would benefit from this email please forward it on.

Final Note, paddlers will be paddling at there own risk and should be competent to paddle to the conditions of the water on the day and safety or instruction will not be supplied by Brookbank.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the water.

Brookbank Lancaster Halton Demo Day CANCELED

Due to the current weather Halton rapids is now well into spate conditions, meaning it would not be sensible or safe to continue with running the day. We will do our best to spread this information at such short notice but if you know of people who were going to be attending the demo please could you pass this information out to save them the wasted trip.

Please look out for information on this site regarding the rearranged date for the demo day.

Many thanks
