LCC juniors at TRN – John Lamb Bursary

Some LCC juniors enjoyed a great day out at TNR in Llangollen yesterday. They were coached by Matt Stevenson, who was really relaxed and positive with them.

The juniors enjoyed going down different parts of the river. They found eddies and practised ferry gliding, surfing and tailies, as well as jumping and seal launching off the big rock!

The coaching was funded by the John Lamb Bursary, established after our friend and fellow paddler John died last year. We were joined on the paddle by Chil the Kite. Chil was John’s scout name, and he likes to go where John would have gone. I hope you can see him in some of the photos!

The juniors, aged 11-18, all got along really well, supporting and encouraging each other. I was really impressed by their determination and enthusiasm, which made for a great day.

You should all feel really proud of yourselves.

I hope those who are there today have an amazing time!
