European Masters Championships 2025
Registration for the European Masters Championships to be help in Portugal is now open and you can find the first bulletin for the event here.
Paddle UK need to be informed of any team members going. Information to follow on this.
Transport of Boats
The plan for the trailer taking kayaks to the European Masters Championships has been finalised.
The Trailer will be loading on the 24th May and the 25th May from Maidstone. This is a weekend to facilitate people bringing boats.
We will be returning to Maidstone on the 6th June and boat collections will be on the 7 & 8th June.
This will allow boats to be delivered at the weekend and collected likewise at the weekend after we return from Portugal.
The cost per boat will be £170.00.
As usual the cost will include the Insurance needed to cover any import / export duty for a boat not able to be returned to the UK. This does not cover the actual boat, and paddlers are reminded that you can organise your own Boat Insurance through your Household Insurance or through Paddle UK Deal.
Team Kit
Joe Fitzpatrick, MRC Kit Lead, is ordering the new Paddle UK kit. If you still have the Team GB kit, we used last year this will still be valid for the European Championships. We will provide an update soon on the new kit if you wish to update.
Bryn, the MRC Masters Lead, will have a couple of Podium Jackets that will need to be worn when you get on the podium.
K2 Races
As usual, we hope to field a strong team in both the K1 and K2 events. If you have not yet found a K2 partner, please use the Masters WhatsApp group to try to link up with a paddler in an age group the same as or near your age group. Access can be achieved by emailing the MRC Masters Lead here.
