Children of Chernobyl

Paul Spencer has organised a River Wye canoe trip for a group of children from Chernobyl on August 9th.  To ensure the success of this event we need a significant amount of volunteer qualified or trainee BCU coaches with experience of paddling and dealing with large groups.  Support will be required for the canoes under the overall instruction of level 3 and 4 coaches.  To be suitable you must be a competent paddler and able to look after the group as well as yourself.  Obviously there will be a language barrier so clear instructions will be required. 

This will take place on the 9th August.  Camping and food will be provided free of charge but you will need to bring a tent and sufficient paddling kit to look after yourself and the group for the day.  There is also a possibility of kayaking on the day after but this will be confirmed nearer the time.

This is a fantastic opportunity for both the children of Chernobyl and ourselves so the success of this is essential.

Please contact Paul Spencer as soon as possible if you are interested on his mobile: 07967386449

Thank you
