The coaching symposium will be organised along three themes; Paddler, Club/Business & Industry and of course hosted in Devon, at the prime location of the River Dart Country Park. We’ll invite all the leading providers, industry contributors and experts from far ranging fields. Work shops on white water kayak design, or a Q&A session about the legal position of a coach or club leader, starting a club or developing a competition/coaching programme, the list will be extensive and inviting.

We’ll invite all the top kayak manufacturers, distributors and suppliers to bring their test boats, for an open weekend on the Dart and the rivers of Dartmoor. In addition we’ll be organising a day of community action in the form of a river clean up amongst other initiatives.
