UK Open Canoe Symposium


English Symposium 2005

It's over now, and it was good, loads of paddling, poling, sailing, jumping, rolling, cooking, singing, playing, laughing, eating, drinking and all.
Thanks to all the organisers, coaches, volunteers, trade folk, the YMCA folk and everyone else who helped make it so wonderful.
