Please complete the following form to register your Start Up Event. Completing this form will enable us to promote your event and allow us to supply you with some resources to help with the running of your events. In return, we ask you to return participation data, as this is extremely helpful for us to plan future support in this area and helps to secure funding from Sport England for future Go Canoeing initiatives. After you have registered your Start Up Event we will send you on a participant feedback form to help you to return data back to us.
Feedback in previous years has shown participants really enjoy their experience and are interested in going again. When planning your Event it is really important to think about what opportunity you will have lined up after theEvent to allow participants to go again.

Our standard text is provided as follows (feel free to adapt this for your specific activity or leave it as is)
All equipment will be provided on the day so you don’t need any specialist kit to take part. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing, such as light tracksuit bottoms (not jeans) and layered tops, as well as any water/windproof over layers and a pair of old shoes (with secure fastenings) which you don’t mind getting wet – no flip flops.
Check the weather before leaving the house to ensure you take clothing to suit the conditions. If it is sunny, don’t forget to wear waterproof sun cream (we recommend a minimum of factor 30) and a hat, as the reflection of the sun off the water can be strong. It is also worth bringing a spare change of clothes to travel home in, just in case you get the odd splash off the paddle.
