Canoe England - Coach Conference
Saturday 4th December & Sunday 5th December 2010
PGL Liddington (nr Swindon)
After a very successful coach conference at Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire earlier this year we are starting to prepare for our next event. We have decided to bring the date forward to the first weekend in December to hopefully get some better weather!
This two day Coach Conference aims to capture the imagination and help with the continuing development of Paddlesport Coaches. An exciting programme will be on offer with two guest speakers being lined up for the Saturday, complimenting a huge range of workshops to choose from over the weekend.
Registration: We plan to open Registration on 1st September 2010.
Keeping informed: If you would like to join our email distribution list to be kept up-to-date with current developments please send an e-mail with your name and Canoe England membership number to simon.hitchcox@canoe-england.org.uk with 'Coach Conference Updates' in the subject field.
Workshop Options: We plan to have an exciting programme of approximately 20 different and optional workshops running throughout the weekend. The selection is designed to provide options for everyone involved in coaching Paddlesport; from those just starting out, to those with many years of experience, with lots to offer both competition and recreational coaches.
Canoe England Volunteer Awards: Saturday evening sees the presentation of the Canoe England Volunteer Awards. Come and support those who are due to be rewarded for their contribution to the sport! More information including how to nominate can be found here.
Venue: Liddington is the newest addition to the PGL centres, formerly a training centre and more recently a four star hotel, this is an outstanding purpose-built facility! Just minutes from the M4 in Wiltshire, it has a very accessible location - sitting almost half way between Carlisle and Penzance! The site has 150 acres with fields, woodland, lakes, high quality conference facilities, and high standard en-suite accommodation.
Cost: The conference packages are yet to be confirmed but we expect them to range from approx. £35 to £135 depending on the workshop/meals/accommodation options you choose.
