The last few years have seen the student paddling community continue to grow, with events like NSR, BUCS Competitions and other occasions giving us all a chance to hang out and paddle with other uni clubs. But until now there has not been any one place for student paddlers to get together and share info on their local areas, events and more. This site has been created by students for students, with the aim of providing a means to:
• Improve contact between uni clubs
• Share local knowledge on rivers, play spots and events
• Increase awareness and involvement in competitions, encouraging more events
• Allow opportunities to try disciplines that other clubs may have more experience in
• Exchange floor space for beer
• Join forces for group discounts on kit and training courses across the UK
• Provide advice and secrets for rivers and accommodation in areas you know well
• Find other student paddlers in your home town to paddle with over the holidays
The home page contains a map to show the clubs and paddling areas around the UK, clicking on each dot takes you to more information about it. The news page is for you to advertise events to other clubs. The ‘clubs’ page contains more information on the universities involved in this community, and the forum page is obviously for all the chat and ideas to be shared!
Want to hear about the important news without having to regularly check the site? Become a fan of our FACEBOOK PAGE to get updates on your feed! If you have any feedback, or you’d like to register your interest in getting your club involved, drop us an email at info@nspf.co.uk.
