If you would like to join us for an hours paddle before hand, then please contact me directly 07505 147957 for the details. If you want to hire a board then contact Windsor Canoe and kayak
Park nearby and walk, cycle, paddle or swim to this point to hear some inspirational speakers and hear about what Surfers against Sewage is doing nationally and how our local group Windsor RiverWatch (which Paddleboard Maidenhead is an active member) are co-ordinating locally.
We are grateful to SAS and WRW for the tireless work and campaigning they do on behalf of us river lovers and the weekly testing.
To see how safe and clean our stretches of the Thames are check out https://watertestingriverthames.co.uk so although we are okay for now , it is still is not acceptable for our water companies and our governments to ignore our requests for clearer safer waters throughout the country.
Everyone will then paddle/swim/ walk down to Eton Bridge for a photoshoot!
At 2.30pm there is another event if you wished to stay in Windsor to see the special screening of People's Emergency Briefing 45mins and a facilitated discussion afterwards in the Other SpaceArts ( Vansittart Estate) hosted by the People, Planet and Pint , for more details and tickets
