Waterside Stortford Festival 2021
Bishops Stortford Canoe Club will be one of several bodies offering river-based activities during Summer 2021 as part of the Waterside Festival organised by Waterside Stortford. As well as canoeing, local organisations are offering angling, wildlife day, heritage day, litter picking, virtual river walk, and photography competition.
The introductory canoeing sessions organised by BSCC will be lead by a qualified coach using sit-on-top kayaks and will be aimed at complete beginners interested in trying out recreational kayaking. A British Canoeing "Start" certificate will be optionally available for those successfully completing the session.
