Exeter Canoe Club is seeking donations to fund a pontoon for kayakers, canoeists, and stand-up paddleboarders, providing easy access from the Turf pub garden to the Exe Estuary.
Current Progress:
The club have raised £6,000 of the £10,000 needed to complete this project.
Why This Matters:
If you’ve paddled at Turf, you know how challenging the muddy bank can be. This pontoon will eliminate the struggle of climbing the muddy bank or falling into the exit channel from the lock. The pontoon, approximately 3 meters long, will be located near the Turf lock on the exit channel into the estuary. It will be connected to the Turf garden by a ramp with a handrail and secure fixings in the water.
Support and Funding:
- Grants Received: Canoe Foundation (£5,000) and Exeter Canoe Club (£1,000)
- Additional Donations: Contributions from private individuals
- Design and Permissions: Exeter City Council
Exeter Canoe Club need to demonstrate matched funding by 31 December 2024. Your support will make a significant difference!
