All club members are expected to do some kind of volunteer role/task at the club each year.
Volunteers give their skills, life experience, time and expertise to our cub and as a result we have a wonderful paddling community and low membership fees
Here are just a few to choose from and if you have your own ideas of how you have made your contribution, our Club President would love to hear from you. akcvicepresident@gmail.com.
