💜 MONDAY – LAST DEDICATED WEEKNIGHT SESSION UNTIL APRIL 2027
Monday evening sees our final dedicated weeknight session of the season.
Monday evening paddling will continue through the winter, but from 12th October those sessions become general club sessions open to everyone, rather than dedicated evenings.
So if you enjoy the dedicated Monday sessions, this is the last weeknight one until they return in 2027.
