Welcome

Birmingham Canoe Club was established over 50 years ago. The club is very active and is supported by a dedicated membership who organise regular trips to various different venues in the UK and Europe. We have a number of coaches on hand to give instruction and guidance where necessary to help paddlers progress their skills.

Membership The club welcomes all ability levels and age levels from absolute beginners to seasoned paddlers. The club currently has members interested in white water trips to Snowdonia and further afield, relaxing flat water paddles on the Severn and Wye, some sea kayaking and the occasional open boat trip. The club also runs weekly training sessions at the swimming pool or Edgbaston Reservoir. This is a good venue to meet club members and most importantly to arrange weekend paddling trips, non-members are always welcome.

Interested? Please take a few minutes to browse this website as it holds the most up to date info on our club. Have a quick look at our news letter which describes our latest publishable exploits. The best source of information about the sport of kayaking is ukriversguidebook which contains illustrated guides to most rivers in the UK and is probably the most active online kayaking community. In the summer the club meet on Fridays from 7pm at Edgbaston Reservoir for training sessions and in the winter months the club meets at on Fridays from 8.30pm at Thimblemill Baths in Smethwick. Information is available here. This is the best time for potential new members to come along and meet/join the club as coaching, river trips and membership can be arranged there. It's also a good chance to catch up on all the latest gossip.
