A new season is about to begin with the first club meeting on the 2024 year.
Club meeting March 12, 2024 at 7 pm at the Chesterville Legion. Hope to see you there The club is still looking for people to fill the executive positions of President and Vice-President so if you're interested come to the meeting. A successful paddle was held. Eight people in total attended the event and 3 followed the paddle with a quick drink in Manotick. A few of these fellows were seen along the route also spotted by a few paddlers were a couple of ospreys.
The first meeting of the new 2023 season took place on March 14th. The club executive remains the same for 2023 and so the business of the new year got started.
Biggest turnout of the 2022 year. Ten paddlers started out from Curry Park in Kemptville under warm and sunny weather. We headed downstream towards the Rideau River. The water was calm and perfect for paddling. After an hour of paddling we reached the Rideau. Four paddlers turned back while the rest of us crossed the Rideau to stop for a short break at Rideau River Provincial Park. Spotted today were a few herons, some turtles, and a few fish.
A new season starts with the kayak club's first meeting of the year on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. Meetings are open to all members and are held at the Chesterville Legion at 7 pm.
Saturday’s trip to Burritts Rapids was well attended by members. Launching from the east side of the locks the group travelled east towards Kempville. Overcast skies and a bit of a wind couldn’t stop us with the lead group travelling 9km to stop for a quick lunch and stretch. After the paddle a BBQ was hosted by Heather and great food was also supplied by other club members. Celebrating Lucien’s birthday and Miles’ retirement. After the meal it was all followed up with a campfire and fireworks.
