The Group were delighted to recently acquire new kayak equipment (helmets, paddles, air bags) and 3 new Kayaks. This new equipment will help the Group continue to run and enhance it’s kayaking program.

We would like to thank Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council who helped to fund this equipment through their Major & Minor Sports Equipment grants.
