Liverpool Canoe Club was formed in 2008 and is an "Open" canoe and kayak club accepting members from every age group and all walks of life. Its aim is to promote paddling opportunities for all its members.

A Brief History of the Club

Several keen Merseyside paddlers met at the West Cheshire Sailing Club on Sunday 26th October 2008 and decided to form a new canoe and kayak club based on the ability to contact each other and arrange paddling opportunities. There would be no need to form committees or organise meetings about meetings. We would just arrange paddles and share knowledge and information with each other. The club would be free to join and open to all interested in paddlesport. Running costs and administration would be kept to a minimum.

It was recommended that members have their your own 3rd party liability insurance for paddlesports or are a member of the BCU (which provides this as part of the package). If trips or sessions are advertised, individuals will need to make sure that they are suitably experienced for the trip or event. The coordinator should be able to give some guidance and all events will have maximum numbers. If members require advice or further guidance then they should use the clubs messaging system to ask for advice from a club coach or experienced paddler.

Liverpool Canoe Club pride itself on trying its best to cater for Club Members` canoeing interests and requirements.
