Cold wet and windy this morning...of course we wen Cold wet and windy this morning...of course we went out, where better to spend a Sunday morning. Amazing how much the water level has increased in the space of 3-4 days.
** Return to Paddling Notice ** As you are no doub ** Return to Paddling Notice ** As you are no doubt aware the Government has published a roadmap to ease current restrictions on movement & activities, Phase 1 of which begins tomorrow (ref: https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/e5e599-government-publishes-roadmap-to-ease-covid-19-restrictions-and-reope/). In line with the Government guidance, Canoeing Ireland has issued its own ‘Return to Paddling’ guidelines for members & clubs which can also be found online (ref: https://canoe.ie/2020/05/13/return-to-paddling-guidelines/). The good news in this is that paddle sports can start to return during Phase 1, starting 18th May. However, the controls which must remain in place for all our safety will be quite restrictive for some time to come (see CI Guidelines above). The club committee is currently putting the necessary controls in place to ensure a safe and responsible return to paddling for club members and in the coming weeks will communicate the protocols necessary to ensure we all stay safe. In the meantime, please read the two references provided above. We understand that everyone is eager to get back out on the water and we will do our best to facilitate that at the appropriate time, when we have the necessary safeguards in place and can remain compliant with Government, HSE & CI guidance. Your safety is our first priority as always!
Hope everyone is staying safe and well and within Hope everyone is staying safe and well and within their 5km. Lough Gill isn't going anywhere; we'll be back out to enjoy these beautiful views very soon.
Happy Easter everyone! Happy Easter everyone!
Delighted to have received a new fleet of wheeled Delighted to have received a new fleet of wheeled kayaks. This really opens up the options for us when the rivers are too low to paddle, we can take it to the land or even the beach. These kayaks are also useful for people with a fear of the water who can now complete their skills training on land instead. Looking forward to being allowed back out to paddle so we can test these bad boys. #sligo #sligokayakclub #loveirishpaddling #kayaking #adventuresligo #aprilfools
** Covid-19 Update ** In light of the latest restr ** Covid-19 Update ** In light of the latest restrictions issued by the government in the battle against the spread of Covid-19 all club activities are suspended through the month of April. Additionally the club house is closed to all members with the exception of individuals dropping off or collecting personal equipment. We will review and update members in May but it is very likely that May activities will be impacted too. Please follow government guidance and stay home to stay safe.
