Today, the 7th of February, the North West Charity Paddle raised £2555.08 thanks to paddlers, water users and the public.

We were over powered by the success, the amount of support shown throughout the paddling community was astonoshing. Thank you all for supporting us on this.

The day was well attended, on the water coaching was a hit, with many GB freestyle athletes offering there knowledge. The rolling Competition was won by Bren Orton, with 16 rolls in 30 seconds. Following up with some inspirational presentations from Daz Clarkson, Claire O’Hara, Dave Bainbridge and Max Bilbow.  The raffle was a hoot, with loads and loads of fantastic prizes.

To those lucky people, we hope you make full use of your prizes, they took alot of begging, but it was well worth it.

There is a huge list of thank yous, but to anyone who gave up their time to offer support for the North West Charity Paddle, donated prizes or said a few words. But the real thanks must go to those who dug deep in the pockets and donated their cash.

We have one final request though. If you have any photos which may be worth sharing, the please do, circulate the images and plaster them everywhere. We would also be interested in having copies, either email them at charitypaddle@mail.com or send them via disk. Either way, please contact us on above.

From all of us at the NWCP, thank you for a special day.
