Wel come to Banbury & District Canoe Club!

Photograph (c) Heather Murphy 2009We are based on the Oxford Canal at Cropredy, five miles north of Banbury.

Although small, the club is one of England's most successful canoe clubs: it has been awarded the Sport England clubmark and the British Canoe Union's Top Performance Club and Top Community Club awards for the quality of its coaching, and was named BCU Club of the Year 2006 and runner-up in 2009. The club finished second in the national inter-club finals (The Hasler Final) in 2011 and third in 2010.

All levels of paddler are catered for, from beginners up to international standard and the club welcomes families and youngsters, to introduce them to the activity.  Our coaches are qualified by the British Canoe Union, and we run regular courses for beginners, both adults and children.
