Market Paddles

From time to time the club organises a social paddle to the West End Markets. We typically have some coffee and/or brunch. Some people will go shopping (eg. fruit and vege – there are may other things available). We can usually watch some live music and otherwise socialise. A great chance for new members to meet other new and old members and find some paddle buddies.
