Thanks for your efforts everyone

Van ready for the off for a long Easter weekend in Anglesey.  Looks like it might be a touch windy for the first couple of days!

In preparation for their course later this week Shel and Mark took out our four candidates for a dunking session on the lake.  Pretty game from them as they spent a fair amount of time in the 6 degree water....
Shel comments :
'It was good fun and the dunk monkeys were rescued effectively😂
The mixed craft situation brings additional challenges - but that the problem solving in the 'rescue team'  was good. 
No one drowned which is always a good outcome! 
We'll aim to set up some more sessions like this and the scale of this session with 2 coaches/dunk monkeys to 4 participants is a good working ratio.'

Our new membership form for this season is now live.  There have been a couple of changes - some to clarify aspects relating to Paddling UK affiliate membership, as well as some competency self assessment questions that should help duty officers manage lake evenings.
We'll renew individual Paddling UK club affiliate memberships at the end of April for those of you who renew your membership.  Let us know if you need this to be done earlier, for example to book on regional paddling UK events...
You can find the link here.  There are a couple of people who joined or renewed membership since new year - you need to complete a new membership form - but do not to pay an annual subscription as you are paid up till the end of the season.
Thanks a lot and see you out on the water soon
