We have strong entries from some of the rural clubs and weaker entries from the Dublin Clubs making the Club Champs title genuinely up for grabs to any club in the country. But the Club Champs isn’t really about the title, it’s about a community coming together to try out the various disciplines in Canoe Sport for a weekend of fun, banter and most importantly networking. We hope to see plenty of you there.
Club Champs registration will be open until midday on the 14th April so it’s not too late to register your club or encourage club members to come along.
Club can register here. Members can register for multiple event entry here and single event entry here for as little as €4 per event for juniors and €12 per event for adults.
Looking forward to seeing you at the weekend.
