Toby Booth won a Silver medal for his performance amongst the under-10s at the 2012 National Sprint Championships, while Megan Scott was also awarded a medal for her achievement in under-10s across the earlier regattas.
In the Essex Canoeing Association sprint series, golds were taken in six classes by Stortford paddlers, including Megan Scott (u10F), Matthew Hutchings (u10M, Isabelle Gurney (u14F) and Aisha Sollars (u16F). In marathon, BSCC were second overall in the Essex Winter Series and hosted the largest EWS race seen for many years. Individual class winners were Matt Parkes & Sim English (u16 K2), June Brett & Rachael Pinnock (Ladies K2), Aisha Sollars (u14F K1) and Leanne Brown (Ladies K1).
Reduced team numbers meant that the club only managed 5th in the Eastern Region Hasler series, but there were many good individual performances reflected in a number of promotions: Sim English to Div 3, Matt Parkes to Div 4, Megan Kenny and Laura Warbrick to Div 7, Aisha Sollars to Div 8, and Paul Surrage & Richard Baker to Div 8 in C2.
