Clubs - Stay Together whilst Staying at Home

Obviously these are challenging times for all of us, and the paddling plans we had made both personally and within our clubs have been put on hold. While some of us will still be busy with our jobs especially those key workers, others will find they have more time on their hands than they would have expected. 

We are already seeing and hearing many examples of how clubs are managing to keep in touch with each other during this period. Don’t underestimate the power of communication at this time and maintaining your passion for paddlesport. Reminisce on the past by sharing stories, photos and memories, support each other through the current crisis and prepare for the future by planning trips, training, competition and events (even if you don’t know the exact date!).

Clearly club members cannot physically meet during this crisis however there are many online platforms such as Google Hangouts, Skype, Daily.co, Zoom, WhatsApp and many more. Why not host a virtual club meet, a focus group or a committee meeting? See this useful post about video conferencing tips.
