Meet The Team

I really enjoy coaching and helping members get the best from club. I'm also involved in new member induction and taster sessions and I love to see members get involved in club activities! I'm approachable and happy to help answer any questions... See me at club or mail nickg@chippenham-scc.com  If I can help, I will.

 I joined CSCC in 1981 and became a coach in 1996.  In that time, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge which I am always happy to share. Paddling always offers something new for me to try or learn. I have paddled the Avon from Malmesbury to Bristol docks, all the corners of the British Isles and in mainland Europe. I have worn many paddle-sport hats (& helmets) over the years: Canoe polo; Slalom; Wild Water Racing as well as recreational paddling in kayaks, canoes & SUPs. My favorite craft is always the one that I’m in (or on) at the time.

Julie takes a lead on all things on the water - training and induction courses, trips, coaching... ably assisted by our helpful group of volunteers  

I am welfare/safeguarding officer for the club.  Off the water  I am a level two men’s gymnastics coach and a men’s national judge. Please feel free to contact me through the club or in person. Or just say hi. I am usually to be found Tuesdays and Thursdays often falling in the river!

Having held the "membership secretary" role  for a few years and served his time pushing our "LoveAdmin" platform to the limits, Josh has moved to support our paddlesports activity.

This is my third year as a member of CCSC.
I have taken up water sports again relatively late in life having last been active at a club in Teddington in late 70's .I have found everyone welcoming and its a great club for everyone at whatever level they wish to paddle at with lots of learning opportunities to take advantage of and I recommend our winter pool sessions !

The club's "Jack of all trades". Often seen in and around the club either cutting grass or carrying out general maintenance. Always looking for volunteers to join our working parties.  

I joined CSCC in 2016 after rediscovering the joy of being the water having not been out since I was a Sea Scout.
As Health and Safety Officer I assist the club to put in place health and safety policies and procedures, act as the first point of contact for club staff, volunteers, young people and parents for any issues concerning health and safety and ensure all accidents are reported in accordance with BC guidelines.

Member since 2020 - mainly Kayaking, developing my white water skills, but happy doing anything on water! Committee roles are Treasurer and developing the website

​Hi I'm Alex. After being a member of the club for 3 years I thought I'd get more involved by being on the committee.

I absolutely love being out on the water and trying  new things.
