Leighton Buzzard
Canoe Club is a family-friendly club based behind Tiddenfoot Leisure
Centre in the Town of Leighton Buzzard. We paddle mainly on the Grand
Union canal which passes through the town.
Due to our location the majority of our paddlers concentrate on the
placid water canoe and kayak disciplines of marathon and sprint racing.
We have an active membership of over 90 paddlers, with many more non-paddling
members besides.

Buzzard Hasler Race Sunday 15 June 2008
It was as always
always a warm bright sunshiney day for our Hasler race and we had a
great race as ever polished off by the Fathers Day barbeque.

location. Switch to Birds Eye and rotate the view to East/West
and you will see a group session about to get on the water last winter.

Clubhouse Project - Can
You Help Us ?
We are currently
in the middle of the process of finding a new home for the club, as
the current site that we have been on for the last 20+ years is needed
by the school for their own expansion. We have located another site
nearby, close to the canal, subject to obtaining planning permission
and the necessary funding the project will go ahead soon. We are appealing
to everyone for funds and hope to be moving in within the next year! |
