Teifi Trip
Kate is running a weekend trip to the Teifi, details follow.

Date: 27th to 29th of January.
Location: We will be staying at the bunk house owned by llandysul paddlers in pont tyweli. There is a pub about 5 mins walk away which will take our group booking for the Saturday night.
Cost: The cost will be £10 per person per night. All meals will be bring your own.
Details: A vague river plan would be to paddle the section of the teifi from llandysul paddlers to the falls then maybe find something Swansea way for a Sunday paddle. Possibly the Neath. This is obviously water level dependant and who comes on the trip. The mentioned section of the teifi  is grade 2 with some 3 which is easily portaged. And the neath is also a lovely river from what I remember. The weekend should  will be a good confidence booster. For those wanting harder rivers there is also plenty around.

Email Kate with definite confirmation they are coming, she will be at the pub meeting on Weds

Guys Annual Wales Trip Trip
This will take place in February details to be confirmed, but let Guy know if you’re interested.


A good mornings work

Thanks to everyone who came and helped out tidy up the club hut and inventory all the kit this morning.

And as Abingdon weir’s opened up at long last it seemed rude not to have a quick blast afterwards.

Kate

It is with great sadness that we learnt of the untimely death of Kate Howell.

Kate was a recent recruit to Kingfisher but in a short time quickly became a valued member of the club, but more importantly a friend to us all.

Kate’s paddling experience and ability along with her charm, intelligence and infectious enthusiasm has left an indelible mark on our lives.

Our thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends at this difficult time.
