Every spring, the Paddle Cymru team travels around Wales to provide the latest updates to members and to give you a chance to meet Paddle Cymru staff and take part in free workshops. Last years roadshow was supported by the RNLI and was focusing on Safety on the water.
Information for 2025 roadshows will be announced soon!
