The Water Rats Are Back!

17/5/2019

Now that summer is here the Water Rats are back at the lake on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. To be fair they never really went away - it's just that some of them went into hibernation over the winter months.

For anyone new to the club Water Rats is the name we give to our junior paddlers. The aim of the group is to have fun on (and in) the water and along the way teach them paddling skills. The group is open to young members of MWBC of any age - parents are also welcome to come along and join in the fun.

Manvers Div 4 Slalom 2019

17/5/2019

Manvers Waterfront Boat Club's annual Division 4 canoe slalom event took place at the lake over the weekend of 11/12th May 2019.

The event saw some strong performances by all of our junior paddlers and promotions to Div 3 for Olivia Smith and Amelia Sissons in the K1 Women Class and for Jacob Musgrave in K1 Men.

An unexpected bonus was the presence of Helen Darby Dowman (formerly Helen Reeves) an ex GB international slalom paddler and bronze medallist in the 2004 Olympic Games. Helen, whose son Charlie was taking part in his first slalom, very kindly agreed to present the prizes at the end of the event.

Pictures are Olivia and Amelia receiving their prizes from Helen.
