Manchester Canoe Club

About the Club, Great location, Club house has facilities to have a brew, get changed, shower etc, they have a little gym room, the river set up is awesome and from first hand experience the 'people' are extremely helpful (volunteer run I think) it's as far from commercial as you could wish to get.. as in its all about the fun of the sport whether hobby or wannabe pro paddlers its certainly not sales sales sales, you can try 3 times for a nominal fee before you commit to membership, we've used the online system to pay for a beginner course in the pool then we did the 3 visits with no pressure to join.. (it's not expensive to join anyway) overall we're very happy, beautiful location, great fun, attentive and diligent coaches (for the juniors) an hour or two away from the home computer's and Xbox learning new skills and getting fit! Give it a try!If you don't get an answer online pop down and introduce yourself - you'll be given a warm welcome by everyone!!

Really nice club friendly

Brilliant day

Manchester Canoe Club is great if you have an interest in Slalom. The site in Marple has some of the best facilities, I have seen for a canoe club. The river itself has some good bits for a Grade 2 blast, but be aware and talk to someone local as it has a couple of interesting bits.If you want some real fun, the usual 1 1/2 run from Roman lakes, takes less than 10 mins when the water is above 1.10 on the EA Gauge (Goyt)

It is amazing every one is helpful in improving your skills and fitness

I wanted to renew a membership as a gift but struggled as I needed the persons login details. They’d last been a member more than a few years ago so I was unsure if they’d ever used the online membership renewals so I tried emailing the club on three different email addresses over a period of three weeks and have yet to recieve a reply. I’ve since spoken with the intended recipient and it turns out that they haven’t used the online system before so they'll just create a new account and do it as a new membership but that’s the surprise ruined.It’s just so unbelievably rude that nobody bothered to reply!! Terrible service and to think all I wanted to do was give them some money...

The River was low and not clear.

Really friendly canoe club, a fun place to start out.
