In these difficult times Kingfisher Canoe Club is glad to be able to share some very welcome good news.
As you may be aware, planning permission was granted for our new club store/changing facility at Abingdon Lock last year. Over the last few months we have signed a lease for a new site with the Environment Agency and, just recently, have received the excellent news that we have been awarded a National Lottery / Sport England grant of £36,000!
You may have seen the article below in the local press.
“Kingfisher Canoe Club – and its youth division Pathfinders – packed up and left its home of 25 years in Abingdon on Saturday, more than 18 months after being served an eviction notice.”

Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, KCC has been unable to secure a new base to operate from.
Whilst efforts are continuing to to find a new home it would be extremely helpful if club members and supporters could let their MP or VotWH District Councillor (or the Leader of the Vale District Council if you live in a different district) how much they value the club.
