| Isle of Wight - Training with Wings |
Although it takes some time to get use to blade, especially in rougher conditions, it is clear the advantages of such a economical and efficient blade.

| Remote First Aid Course |
One of the programme run in October was an outdoor first aid programme for a local canoe club. Over four evenings we covered all aspects of the first aid programme aimed at paddlesport coaches and paddlers. The programme ended with a night exercise using all the skills taught.
After this course, a remote first aid, 2 day programme was run for some coaches/instructors that operate in more remote conditions, that is further away from immediate assistance.

| Canoe Coaching on the River Dart |
Canoe coaching has been really popular this month, with many one to one programmes/sessions. Most want to expand their knowledge and skill as a solo canoeist and coaches moving towards their BCU/UKCC Level 2 Coach assessment wanting to develop their technical understanding.
Two BCU White Water Safety & Rescue programmes were run on the River Dart & Erme and a BCU 4 Star Inland Training.
Fingers crossed, we get a good winter season on the rivers.
