Adlington,
Adlington Canoe Club was formed in 1980, to cater for Wild Water Racing enthusiasts and began with a nucleus of 4 top class canoeists and an instructor, together with one or two dedicated parents. Following an open day at Chorley Baths when interested people were invited to join the club, the membership grew to around 30 canoeists of ages varying from 10 years to 23 years, and their abilities raised from beginners to competent canoeists.
The club now meets every Saturday at 2.00 pm at Adlington by the canal (A6 lay-by after Rawlinson Lane) when newcomers are welcome to try the sport. The club has a large selection of boats which may be hired for a very small fee. All canoeists must be able to swim and anyone from 10 years to 60+ years is welcome. The club and its members have won many trophies since we began, with many of its member representing their country, and wining international honours. We also run a marathon race each year in early September
