Which club is it – most canoe clubs I’ve been involved with have had a series of river cruises through out the year – Even when I was involved with Leeds Canoe Club during its centre of excellence day we still went of and dicked about on rivers
However I’d say as a dyed in the wool slalmomist there is no greater thing – most lower div have fairly good access to the water during race weekends – its only in the top Divs that practice time is limited (basically you get a mx of 5 run of around 170sec each all weekend – now that’s a pain)
Try some of the other local clubs – Knotingley used have a good club –I’m currently with white rose in Leeds & there is still Leeds Canoe club – West yorks are based in Wakefield – or check with the BCU
