Introduction
The Southern Regional Development Team is a committee of volunteers set up by British Canoeing to support all paddling opportunities and all paddling disciplines in the Southern Region.
The region hosts paddlers from a variety of paddling backgrounds ranging from introductory to elite levels, in recreational paddling competitions and expeditions. There are also several clubs, commercial centres and providers.
The Chair, on behalf of the Regional Development Team, reports to the English Council twice a year. This is an opportunity to shape British Canoeing’s activities in your region and air your views.
