Conningbrook Lake Lake Session
This is a regular paddle during the summer, it may be on a Monday or Wednesday (we are trying out alternating the day for May to start with). Come down and join us for a paddle round the lake, brush up on skills or learn some new ones.
We do not have permanent changing facilities at the lake but we do have some changing tents available, if you would like a changing tent, ask the coach/leader/helper/committee member on duty for the session and they will get one out for you. You need to pack it away after use please.
If you need to use a toilet whilst at the lake, there are toilets at the Julie Rose Stadium next door.
Some weeks there will be defined sessions and some weeks will be a chat and a paddle! See ticket information for what's happening.
