Big Bann Canoe Challenge

THE BIG BANN CANOE CHALLENGE

The Big Bann Canoe Challenge is an official event of The Canoe Association Of Northern Ireland taking place on August the 20th and 21st.

It is open to both novices and experienced canoeist and kayakers, so perfect for families too! The event is a paddle along the Lower Bann from Newferry to Drumaheglis; thats a total of 29 km over the two days with camping on the 20th at Portneal Lodgem Kilrea ( or a B&B for the less adventurous can be booked independently.

A large part of the entry fee will go to Asterias, a charity who do a wonderful job of providing a future for people who would otherwise have little hope in life, and are certainly much less fortunate than we are.
The entry fee will also entitle every individual and team participant to one of our "I've been Banned" T shirts which will be issued to everyone who has completed the challenge (surely worth the cost of entry on its own!!) Family registration entitles the entrant to 2 T shirts.

We have set entry cost as a MINIMUM donation to encourage participants to seek sponsorship, and all money raised over the minimum cost will be donated to Asterias.
Bookings should be made ASAP at office@cani.org.uk - don't miss out !!
