Neurodiversity Workshop Update

Following our previous roadshows the feedback I have had for the Neurodiversity roadshow is that is will be accessible both face to face and online. The event will take place on a Saturday morning. The event is open to all volunteers. Venue to be confirmed.  

District Kayaks – Sessions and Hire

In the district we have two fully equipped kayak trailers for groups to use. One trailer has 6 kayaks on it and the other has 8 kayaks on it. We also have one Canadian canoe. 

There is a refundable deposit to use the district equipment if you are taking the trailers away to use with your group which is not part of a district supported event/session.

If you would like to use the kit with your group either with your own permit holders or would like a district supported session please contact Thomas Cresswell.
