Birmingham Canoe Club was established over 50 years ago. The club is very active and is supported by dedicated a 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 session at the swimming pool or Edgbaston Reservoir. This is a good venue to meet club members and most importantly arrange weekend paddling trips, non-members are always welcome.
