Canoe England staff descended on four regions this Spring to provide information, updates and a networking opportunity for club members and volunteers to attend. An outstanding number of volunteers attended the North West (March 15th), London & South East (March 29th), South (March 30th) and East (April 13th) club forums.
Despite the initial dubious feeling from some volunteers, club members went away feeling informed and more positive about the organisation. As one volunteer said at the North West forum: "I was expecting to leave by lunchtime - I didn't think it would be any good. But I'm still here at 4 o'clock because it was so informative!"
BCU and Canoe England directors and officers were out in force to ensure clubs received the best day possible - Director of Operations, Robert Deacon, could have talked all day with his presentation on insurance! As well as listening to updates, it also provided BCU and Canoe England officers the opportunity to listen to the thoughts of those in the clubs and act on what was being said from the people who count - the volunteers.
Club Forums are now due to be held in the Autumn for the remaining regions. The Club Forum Programme will include sessions on:
