Thank you for visiting our website. On these pages we would like to tell visitors about our Club and its achievements, and keep our members up to date with our programme of activities, including the latest information about Club trips and coaching. We have a page for members' Classified Advertisements and there is an interactive Notice Board for members to post news and comments as well as notices about private trips. We also have a page of links to the minutes of Committee meetings. The Youth Section page is aimed at young people, their parents and carers and it describes some of the programmes and events for young paddlers that Hexham Canoe Club supports. Finally, the Boat House page has been provided to keep people informed of the exciting developments that are happening at our base in Tyne Green in Hexham.

We are located at Tyne Green Country Park, Hexham, Northumberland in the beautiful north east of England. Our main Club session is on Saturday afternoon; we meet at 1-00 and finish at 3-30.
New on the website this week (May 26th) The new Boathouse is now open. There are still some jobs to do. We will be fitting new racking into the boathouse in the next few weeks. The old cafe will be ready for use as changing rooms, showers and toilets in early June. Go to the Boathouse page for the latest. In the meantime, it's business as usual for our Saturday afternoon sessions, and the Wednesday evening sessions (6pm till 8pm) started on May 5th. Watch this space for news on the official opening of
the boathouse
There will not be a club session on Saturday June 5th. This is because Hexham Rowing Club is holding its annual regatta that day. I'm sure they would welcome us down on Tyne Green to support them.
At the AGM, we decided to keep membership fees for 2010-11 unchanged from last year. We have introduced an Unwaged membership class. Membership is now due and forms should be filled in and sent to Colin Rendall as soon as possible. Forms will be sent out to existing members and can be downloaded from the Application page. Watch out for an announcement concerning personal boat staorage by the end of this month.
Hexham Canoe Club is now a limited company. The Club Constitution can be downloaded from the About our Club page.
We have just been told that our bid for money against Canoe England's Project 2010 capital grant fund has been succesful. This means that we will be able to buy four new open boats at half price. The new boats should arrive in the next two months.
The summer coaching programme starts on Tyne Green. This will include sea kayak training, taster sessions for competitive paddling and lots more. Go to the Coaching page for more information
