10 Nov	Today we have recieved a very kind offer from 1st Wet & Wild (SHEFFIELD CITY KAYAK CLUBS official supplier) of vastly reduced prices on boats & equipment - Have a look at it all on sale here.

8 Nov	Congratulations to Sean Waine, age 10, for gaining promotion to Div 2 by achieving 1st place, 5 seconds clear of his nearest rival, in the Men’s K1 Div 3 Slalom event at Sowerby Bridge on 16th October. This is an excellent result, particularly for someone of Sean’s age, because at this level he has been competing directly against teenagers and adults who all have a good set of paddling skills, and have one sole aim - Div 2! Well done Sean!

28 Oct	Well Christmas is nearly upon us once again and as is tradition SCKC will be gathering for our festive social - this year we have booked Uncle Sams american diner in Sheffield. They have kindly said that they will open the diner after hours exclusively for us after our regular pool session on the 9th December from 10pm. Places are unfortunately limited so please book early to guarantee that you can sample some of the finest cheese sauce in the world ever. Contact Adam to let him know how many places you require asap.

16 Sept	Yesterday saw a landmark in the clubs history with the delivery of our new container. This purchase reflects just how far the club has progressed over the last couple of years and a massive thanks must go out to all our club members who have been involved in raising the funds to enable us to to this. Thank You.

8 Aug	Once again one of our members Dave Stannard is digging deep with his efforts to raise money for the childrens charity Bliss - this time by running from London to Sheffield a not so small distance of 160 miles over 8 days, if you could find it in you to support Dave in his mammoth efforts then you can donate at his just giving web page here - or if you would prefer to pass a contribution on to our Chairman who will make sure it reaches him. Thanks and Good Luck Dave.

8 Aug	The Kelham to Meadowhall trip was a great success, thanks to everyone who turned up and endured the constant need to keep getting out of our boats due to the lack of water in places. The 6 hour paddle took alot out of us all but we still had smiles on our faces at the end. Massive thanks to those that provided logistical support in ferrying members.
