Our enthusiastic fellow members Mary and Alan Capell have organised an exciting extended weekend doing something many of us participate in on a casual basis i.e. Canoe or Kayaking. We do have members who are really competent and others like Eric (me) who fall out a lot. So SARCC invite you to join Mary and Alan on a long weekend with a difference.
