Description:

Tonbridge Canoe Club was formed in 1977 to promote the various disciplines of canoeing from its base on the River Medway opposite Tonbridge Castle.

The Club meets every Saturday morning throughout the year, and on various weekday evenings between March and October for general Club sessions. The minimum age for membership is normally 12.

The club is run entirely by volunteers from amongst its membership, and is funded solely by its member's subscriptions. The day to day affairs of the Club are overseen by a Committee of members, who meet regularly. We are affiliated to the British Canoe Union. Club members are kept up to date with forthcoming club activities by means of a regular newsletter.

There are many different aspects to the sport of canoeing, e.g. touring, slalom, white water, sea kayaking, racing, canoe polo and canoe sailing. Some of these require water facilities that are not available on the River Medway but the club does have members actively partcipating in canoe racing (sprint and marathon), canoe touring, open canoeing (canadian) and recreational paddling (plastic and general purpose).
