Shelly Peary
Chair
Hi I'm Shelly, new chair of WPSC, no idea how I fell into the role but here I am! Bear with me as I get to grips with it. I first paddled with WPSC probably 15+ years ago and loved it from my first time. I'm no better now than I was back then but that's doesn't matter as it makes me happy every time I'm on the water.
Chris Scott
Equipment Officer
I was elected as the Equipment Officer following the AGM and am looking forward to my time in the role. The club has successfully navigated it's way through the current Corona Virus issues and has remained as one of the most active paddling clubs in the North East of England. I hope that as a club we can continue to remain active and for coaches and members to look forward to more adventures to come, with or without covid restrictions (Hopefully without by next year). The club has some exciting plans and I'm glad to also be a member to hopefully take part in some of these in the future.
Gary Cadman
I.T. Officer
Hi, I look after our I.T. related things such as WebCollect and the Website. I'm also an Open Water Canoe Coach

Kay Hocking
Vice Chair
I joined the club in 2020, having never paddled before. I’ve since paddled The Great Glen Canoe Trail, wild camping along the way. Not bad for an old bird! I’ve enjoyed many trips with the club and look forward to many more in the not so distant future.
Tom Thomas Coaching Officer
My name is Tom and I’m the club Coaching Officer. I organise most of the Personal Performance and Coaching Award assessments that go on through the club. I really enjoy all aspects of the club but get increasing pleasure from seeing others develop into skillful paddlers, coaches, leaders and active members of the club.
Emma Watson
Social Secretary
I love the outdoors! From walking, paddling and running to swimming andb camping, I love an adventure, seeing the world and meeting new people as I go!
Rachel McClumpha
Secretary
I'm a photographer but in my spare time, I love a bit of adventure and getting outside my comfort zone trying outdoor activities. I joined the club with my son in 2021 and found my love for Sea kayaking and generally being on the water.
Amy Bain
Treasurer
I joined the club in 2020, looking to pick up a new hobby during lockdown. A few years down the line and I’m still here, still learning and still loving every second on the water.
