Bradford & Bingley Canoe Club Unveil New Facilities
Bradford & Bingley Canoe Club (BBCC) have completed the building of its new canoe storage facility, marked by the official launch on Thursday 13th March, 2008.
The new facilities, which sit inside the grounds of the Bradford and Bingley Sports Club, were built using an award of £160,000 it received from the Sport England Community Club Development Programme (CCDP).
The club, which has already produced some of the best white water slalom canoeists in the UK, is well on the way to achieving its aim to become a leading canoe and kayak club within the region. Having represented Bradford in slalom and white water competition since the late sixties, turning out competitors of international standard, the Club has found several of its members ranking in the premier division of UK Canoe Slalom.
A spokesperson for the BBCC said: “These new facilities have provided a real boost for canoeing and kayaking in Bradford and Bingley and the whole of the Yorkshire region. They will help the club in its aims to get more people involved in this fabulous sport, in the run up to 2012 and beyond.
“Members of the Club have to be congratulated for their hard work in making the project a success, and the support of Sport England and the British Canoe Union (BCU) has been invaluable in helping to turn our plans into reality."
The section of the Aire within the Sports Club grounds is particularly suited to canoe slalom and is the site of a national annual competition in the sport that usually attracts more than 100 competitors from all over the UK on a weekend in May each year.
Cllr Peter Price, Chair of the Sport England Yorkshire Board said:
“The Sport England CCDP grant, which has been awarded to the BBCC through the BCU, will enable the club to grow, to operate more efficiently, and to consolidate its position as one of the Yorkshire region’s top clubs.”
