News on the LPS 2016

Hi Ladies,
Some 2016 news for you.

Like all great events (actually just Glastonbury) the Ladies Paddle Symposium is going to officially take a break in 2016.

It will be back in 2017 hopefully as long as you all want to come.

We’d like to say a massive thank you to all the supporters – Paddler Palm, 9Bar Wholebake, Pyranha Kayaks, Wet and Wild, Emma Cornes and Celtic Paddles. A huge thanks to all the coaches, and a gigantic thank you to all you wonderful women who came and made it what it has been.

Have a wonderful Christmas, and a fantastic year of paddling in 2016.

See you in 2017.
Love Fran and the LPS Team.

Ladies Paddle Symposium 2015 – A great success – Thanks to all!

Well it is almost a month since we all met up in the sleepy town of Bala North Wales (not so sleepy with all of us being a few miles down the road!).

All that is left to say is a MASSIVE thanks to all those who helped this year to be the best yet: Palm Equipment, Pyranha Kayaks, 9Bar, Wet and Wild, Emma Cornes Handbags,  and Celtic Paddles. Also a HUGE thanks to all the coaches who came and delivered some great coaching to you all and last but not least to my Helper Elves!

A few final donations are still coming in, but you lovely lot raised just over £1070.00 for the Mountain Rescue in England and Wales.

As announced at the event I will be taking a year off organising the LPS, but I have already had someone approach me about organising it next year, so watch this space for further details!!

Shortly, I will be sending out a feedback questionnaire that you are welcome to fill in if you wish to.
