Paddlers for Life join the celebrations at Ambleside YHA Grand Opening

Jane did a fantastic job organising the Paddlers for Life presence at the official opening of the Ambleside YHA following refurbishment.

Visitors to the YHA opening day enjoyed many activities including the chance to paddle a dragon boat with Paddlers for Life. Paddlers had eight outings during the day usually with six to eight members of the public joining the fun of paddling dragon boats, racing and even ‘tug-of-war’!
The teamwork of Paddlers for Life ensured the public were given sound training and a super experience which they clearly enjoyed.

Thanks to everyone who paddled, gave safety briefings (Roz), helmed the dragon boats (Jane, Roz, John and Chris), provided support cover from the ‘rib’ (Steve and Bill) and liaised with the public to promote our activities (Sue, Rowena and Louisa).
It was a great day out for members of the public to meet Paddlers for Life, Windermere and a wonderful new start for YHA Ambleside.
