Sick of paddling a tub?

Spend a small amount on club membership and access a fleet. Come and see.

Join and learn about boats before you buy your own – otherwise this could be you!

Current members please come along (come a bit earlier 8:00 AM as we need help setting up), help out, and meet new people. Help the club get a good start to the year.

Date: Sat, 22 Feb, 2025
Time: 8:00AM to 12 Noon (any time in the morning)
Location: UQ Canoe Club Boat shed, located here.
Cost: Only $5 and includes basic BBQ food & drinks. Free for current members who come and help.

Come dressed in sensible gear (e.g. shorts, shirt (long sleeves if possible, and shoes that you don’t mind if they get wet). A hat and dark glasses are also recommended. You can bring a towel and dry clothes just in case….. (though it’s not likely you’ll need these).
