Tandridge Canoe and Kayak Club (TCKC) is a BCU Top Community Club based in Surrey, London (M25 Junction 6) – our aim is to help young people and their families enjoy all types of kayaking and canoeing.
We encourage interested adults to help support and train the juniors and, above all, HAVE FUN!
Even if you've never been in a kayak/canoe before you're welcome to come along to watch or join in. Beginners, improvers and families are welcome.
The Club has 4 youth sections (requiring adult helpers) and 1 adult section.
Click on each Club Section to find out more:
1. Tandridge Canoe Polo League
4. TYKs (Tandridge Young Kayakers for under 12's)
5. Blades Plus - over 18's supporting any of the 4 youth sections
As a member of at least one Club Section, you can take part in our progressive training programme.
We have a full year-round programme, with opportunities to paddle several times each week.
We have kayaks and canoes for hire and loan to members, so you don't need to buy before you join.
Activities range from a relaxing paddle to advanced whitewater kayaking - there's something to suit all interests and abilities.

As standard Club procedure, all adult Coaches and members of Blades Plus will be asked to complete a CRB check.
