Welcome to Stafford & Stone Canoe Club

We are a friendly, volunteer led club for competitive canoe slalom. The club has been getting local children and adults on the water since 1973, taking them from absolute beginner to Olympic Gold Medalist and every stage in between.
Since the club started we have been producing some of the sport’s top canoe slalom paddlers who have represented Stafford and Stone across the UK and the World, gaining the club a reputation for excellence. This has allowed us to build our fantastic facility on the banks of the River Trent and build a passionate and dedicated team of volunteer coaches and helpers.
