The BCCC caters for all types of paddlesports, including flatwater racing, canoeing, touring and sea kayaking, as well as the odd paddleboarder.

Throughout the year we host lots of activities where anyone who paddles can attend. We host a monthly time trial called the Hare & Hounds on the third Saturday of the month, an annual Hasler race in May, and our Charles Hicks Challenge around November, for racers looking to improve their times at racing and skills at portaging, to get ready for the annual Devizes to Westminster [DW] race.

In the warmer months, we run our introductory courses in general purpose (GP) and racing kayaks, as well as in canoes. There are also more advanced courses on offer to help paddlers develop their skills. Check out our Club Calendar for details.

In the meantime, find out more below about the activities we offer.
