🥉 World Championship Bronze for Team GB Women! 🥉

What a finish!

Team GB's Women's Canoe Polo squad claimed a World Championship bronze medal in dramatic fashion at the Canoe Polo World Championships in Duisburg, Germany, defeating Poland 4-3 after extra time in a thrilling bronze medal match.

We're especially proud to celebrate the Welsh contribution to that success, with five Welsh paddlers in the squad, including our own Megan Hamer-Evans, alongside Welsh coach Kirsten.

Reaching the podium on the world stage is an incredible achievement and a testament to the dedication, teamwork and talent within Welsh paddlesport. Huge congratulations to Megan, her Welsh teammates, Kirsten and the entire Team GB squad on bringing home bronze. 👏🏴🥉

Llongyfarchiadau pawb!

First of the Month Check-In ✅

It's the first of the month, which means it's time for a quick qualification check. Don't let an expired certificate stop you doing what you love.

A quick monthly check of your qualifications and contact details can help you avoid last-minute stress, cancelled sessions and unexpected breaks from coaching.

Take five minutes to:
✅ Check your qualification expiry dates
✅ Ensure your First Aid & Safeguarding is current
✅ Check the email address in your JustGo account is correct

Automated reminders can only reach you if your contact details are accurate. A quick check today could prevent an unexpected break from coaching tomorrow.

🚣 Paddle the River Usk?

We've been made aware that Monmouthshire County Council will be carrying out repair works to Chainbridge and Thornbury Road.

During the works, scaffolding may be in place which could present a health and safety risk for paddlers passing through the area, and access to this stretch of river may be restricted.

If you paddle the Usk, now is a good opportunity to find out more about the proposals and understand how they could affect river access.

📅 Tuesday 30 September
📍 Chainbridge Inn, Usk
⏰ Drop-in session open from 2pm to 7pm

Representatives from Monmouthshire County Council and the external design team will be on hand to answer questions and hear views from the local community.

If this section of river is important to you, please consider dropping in and having your say.
