Formal planning approval for a new club-house was obtained in 2008. Since then the Club has been working hard to try and secure funding and sports development from organisations such as Sport England and Canoe England. 

Councillor Sara Kinnell, Portfolio holder of Leisure and Recreation, comments: “We are pleased to be supporting this exciting new project. As well as providing a centre for able bodied canoeists the club-house will contain specialist facilities for the disabled thus providing access to a sport not often available to disabled participants.” 

The decision to part fund the project was made at the cabinet meeting held on 9 May and money will be released from the S106 funding. For more information please read the cabinet minutes available from www.hart.gov.uk.
