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

** Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Club Activi ** Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) on Club Activities ** The news at the moment is awash with reports of the coronavirus outbreak with new cases reported each day. The risk of contracting this illness in Ireland currently remains low to moderate, however we are in a containment phase of the response with steps being taken across Ireland to prevent or limit the spread of coronavirus. What this means at present is that people are still able to go about their normal day to day activities of going to work, school or other public places though are urged to take precautions to protect themselves and others from virus. The risk to club members of contracting the virus while engaging in club activities, Sunday pool sessions or weekend peer paddles, is low and activities will continue as normal for the time being. That being said the committee would encourage all members to take necessary precautions as defined by the HSE which are based on the guidance of the WHO and the ECDC (Ref: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/protect-yourself.html). The club committee will keep up to date with the latest information released by the HSE and will keep club members informed should the situation change in future. Precautions: 1. Just as you would for Weils disease, continue to exercise good personal hygiene by washing hands thoroughly & frequently. 2. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve when you cough or sneeze. 3. Avoid close contact with people who are not well. 4. Stay at home if you are sick to help stop the spread of whatever infection you may have.
