Building on the successful individual programs that Ashington Sea Cadets, Cambois Rowing Club, and Wansbeck Paddle Sports Club have run for many years, this initiative aims to bring these experienced groups together for a coordinated approach to increasing community participation in both on-water and shoreside activities.

Plans include a collaborative summer open day that will showcase the diverse range of existing opportunities, preceded by enhanced promotion of the individual open days and taster sessions these organisations have successfully delivered for years.
