regular and recurring events

[ Events Announcements and Results | 2004 Calendar ]

Following are the regular events hosted by Brisbane Canoeing. Some events are for members only whilst others are for Trial Canoeists.

Hare and Hound Handicap

On the first Saturday morning of each month we conduct a handicapped Hare and Hound event. Handicaps are based on personal best times from the previous 6 months which makes for very close finishes.

The handicap is a 6km race for everyone (from Oxley Creek to the Indooroopilly Bridge and back).

Please make a gold coin donation to race. First 3 across the line win a chocolate bar (if someone's remembered to visit the shops on the way down!).

Here are the results for the 2003 H&H Handicaps and for 2004.

Come and Try Canoeing

Second Saturday of every month - meet at 8:00am at the club house.

$10 to participate.

For further info, go to the C&T page.

For bookings call our President on 3279 1870 or book by email.

Beginning Adult Coaching

Coaching is available for adult club members free of charge on Thursday mornings at 6:00am. This session is generally over by 7:15am allowing most people reasonable time to get to work.

It is most important to start out in the sport with correct technique. Coaching is offered to adult paddlers as a bridge between 'Come and Try' and 'Training' or 'Recreation' paddling.

These sessions are informal - ie there is no long term coaching/training program. The activity for a particular session will depend on who shows up and at what level they are at.
