Welcome to Solihull Canoe Club
Canoeing is a popular and fast growing sport. It is a great way to get fit and explore the countryside of Britain.
Here at Solihull Canoe Club we take part in both recreational and
competitive kayaking & canoeing. Even if you are a complete
beginner, you are most welcome to come along for a try out under the
guidance of qualified British Canoeing (BC) coaches.
We
are based at Catherine-de-Barnes on the Grand Union Canal near Solihull and Birmingham in the
West Midlands. For a map and details of how to get to the club; click on

The
club is a registered charity with volunteer committee members and
coaches, for more information on who we are; our experience and qualifications; click on

The
club meets every Saturday with a performance group in the morning and a
recreational group in the afternoon. If you are a novice or regular canoeist and would like
to come along please contact us - see either
About Us or, if that does not meet your needs, please phone or email us.
Coronavirus - We are once again running taster sessions including for complete beginners. Please contact us if you are interested.
Please note we are members' club. Members can use club boats at club training sessions, club trips and for racing, but we do not hire out kayaks or canoes.
